Dodecyl benzene

Dodecyl benzene

Dodecyl benzene is a petrochemical substitute for the tallow and coconut oil used in making soap. This petrochemical was brought to market after SRI (Stanford Research Institute) did scientific and business consulting work on it in 1948 for Chevron. Dodecyl benzene was the basis for the first successful household detergent, Tide.
