Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS)
LAS is a primary anionic synthetic surfactant used in laundry and dishwashing detergents for its excellent foaming and cleaning properties. It meets the Chapter 34 definition for organic surface-active agents by reducing surface tension in water solutions and forming stable emulsions. Classified under 3402.90.10 as a synthetic detergent, distinct from soap.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
SLES is a widely used anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, providing rich foam in shampoos and body washes. It satisfies heading 3402 criteria by forming translucent emulsions and lowering water surface tension below 45 dyne/cm. Falls under 3402.90.10 as a synthetic detergent for personal care formulations.
Decyl Glucoside
A mild, nonionic synthetic surfactant from glucose and decyl alcohol, used in natural baby shampoos. Qualifies under 3402 by standard surface tension and emulsion tests despite bio-based origin. Synthetic detergent per 3402.90.10.
