Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate - LAS is the major surfactant used in laundry detergents and other household and industrial detergent applications.

Since the introduction of LAS in the early 60's many comprehensive scientific studies on the environmental impact of LAS have been conducted. The results of these studies have proved beyond any doubt that LAS poses no threat to the environment and may therefore be considered as an optimal solution for surfactants in detergents.

Due to LAS's outstanding environmental record, its effectiveness and its cost competitiveness, LAS has been popular for over 30 years and its usage still continues to increase around the world.
