Description

Application
It is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of detergents dyes pharmaceuticals and resins and also in the production of sulfonated derivatives such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS).

Purpose
The primary purpose of benzenesulfonic acid is to act as a key chemical building block for introducing sulfonic functional groups improving solubility and reactivity in various industrial and chemical processes.

General Description
Benzenesulfonic acid is a strong organic acid consisting of a benzene ring bonded to a sulfonic acid group (SOH) typically appearing as a colorless to pale brown viscous liquid.
