  Hello Experts

  Can we use only the neutralized sulphonic acid as detergent in paste form? the ph comes around 9. will it damage the fabric or is it safe to use?

  If the pH is around 9, then the Sulfonic acid is mostly neutralized, and you have a sulfonate instead, which is the actual detergent. Sulfonic acid has less surface activity hence is a poorer detergent.
