Linear Alkylbenzene LAB-99 from China
LAB-99 is a highly purified mixed linear alkylbenzene with a linear carbon chain length primarily C10-C13, used as the primary feedstock for manufacturing linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) detergents. It falls under HTS 3817.00.10.00 as mixed linear alkylbenzenes, distinguished from branched types by its straight-chain alkyl groups attached to the benzene ring.

Import Tips
• Verify purity levels (>99%) and C10-C13 chain distribution via certificate of analysis to confirm classification; ensure SDS includes exact composition to avoid reclassification as unspecified mixtures; check for environmental compliance with TSCA registration for chemical imports
