| Based on application, the LAB market can be broadly segmented into Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate and other applications. |
| This will favor specialty surfactants such as sugarderived types at the expense of inexpensive commodity products such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. |
| Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acids and alkylate bottoms are currently being reviewed by the OECD SIDS program. |
| Methyl ester sulfonate exhibits properties similar to linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, and is proving to be a fine replacement in a variety of formulations. |
