Characterization of phosphate-free detergent powders incorporated with palm C16 methyl ester sulfonate (C16MES) and linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA)

Laboratory and pilot scale investigations were carried out on phosphate-free detergent (PFD) formulations comprising binary anionic surfactants of C16 palm methyl ester sulfonates (C16MES) and linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) with the aim of maximizing the incorporation of C16MES into low...
