High Active LABSA for Emulsion Polymerization from Mexico

High Active LABSA for Emulsion Polymerization is an ultra-pure (>98% active) linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid designed for latex and paint emulsion stabilizers. Its high purity and industrial-grade quality make it suitable as an anionic surface-active agent under heading 34.02. It is classified under 3402.31.90 as 'Other' because it does not meet the specific sodium salt or end-use requirements of the sibling item.

• Consult the CBSA's D10 memorandum for guidance on classifying anionic surfactants
