20 Jul How to Ensure LABSA High Quality: Guidelines for Production and Post-Production Best Practice
As discussed in our earlier blogs that Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) , is an vital Raw material which is used in Detergent and Cleaning Products Manufacturing Industry. As We CSM are the industry for more than 20 Years and producing high quality LABSA for such a long-time, so we thought it’s responsibility to share the best practices to achieve the production of LABSA and maintain its quality after productions to help those are in interested.
- Selection of Raw Material
The first and most important step is the selection of right and high-quality raw materials for the production of LABSA. The core ingredient in Production of LABSA, is Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) and this directly impact on the final product, so have to consider high quality of Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) is a must. Below are some tips which might be helpful in the selection of LAB.
– Purity of LAB: Have to ensure that LAB you selected must be free of impurities or have minimum of impurities. Impurities can result the LABSA produced is of a Low Quality.
– Reliable Supplier: You must acquire LAN from a supplier who is reliable and you had done business with him/her and you are satisfied with his products or look forward for the supplier who have good name in the market and known for their quality products. Another thing which might help in choosing reliable supplier are regular audits of the products acquire as well supplier evaluation.
- High Standard Production Process:
In the production of LABSA, we need sulfonation of LAB, and this is very critical process for acquiring high-quality of the end product. Some factors to be considered are:
– Controlled Sulfonation: Monitoring of temperature, pressure, and sulfonating agent concentration and it must be precisely accurate.
– Efficient Reactors: Now technology is more advance so it is advised that keep your reactors up to date, modern and update to achieve the goal of acquiring consistent product.
– Real-time Monitoring: Another most advised step is the implementation of Real Time Monitoring System, to Monitor the whole production process from the start to end and detect if there is deviation in the procedures and implement the corrective measures instantly.
3. Quality Control Measures
Dynamic quality control (QC) measures have to be implemented for the production of each batch of LABSA and to meet the quality standards for each batch produced.
At CSM, adopt following Quality Control Practices:
– Regular Sampling and Testing: At CSM, we emphasize on regular sampling and testing during the process of LABSA production process. The must parameters to be tested are active matter content, free sulfur content, and free oil content.
– Standardized Procedures: Another important measure is to strictly follow the Standardized Industry testing procedures, this will ensure that your results are up to the mark and reliable.
– Documentation and Traceability: Thorough documentation of the whole quality control procedure Is very important and advised for later implications if any.
4. After-Production Quality Maintenance
Now as you have done the difficult part of the manufacturing of LABSA and its you have the Final product in form of good quality LABSA with you. Now it is also very important to take care and maintain the quality of your product during storage and transportation. Below are some useful tips which might be helpful:
– Proper Storage Conditions: You have to make sure that you store LABSA in containers which are Corrosion Resistant and also make sure that you store it in a dry and cool place.
– Regular Inspections: Regular Inspections for Store rooms or facilities also advisable as by doing this you can make sure that your containers are lying in a good condition and there is no leaks or contamination suspected.
– Appropriate Packaging: Make sure the packaging material used is of required industry standards to make sure LABSA is protected from environmental and contamination during transportation.
