CMEE Coconut Methyl Ester Ethoxylates CAS 65218-33-7

CMEE Coconut Ethoxylates are easy to work with and have a very low freezing point.
It is mild and eco-friendly. CMEE Coconut Methyl Ester Ethoxylates have low foam and are easy to wash. Coldwater dissolution speed, no gel phase, good compatibility.

MES is made by sulfonating fatty acid-methyl ester, also known as sodium sulfonate.
The disodium generated by MES can have a negative impact on the washing performance. It is also hard to produce products of high concentration with high viscosity and difficult to compete in terms of price with linearalkylbenzene-sodium-sulfonate. Fatty acid methyl ester is made from renewable oil which meets all the requirements for human living.
With the increasing global environmental protection standards, surfactants from renewable sources are increasing and natural oil production is increasing. Therefore, the use of fatty acids methyl esters and their output is gradually increasing. Recently, both domestic and foreign researchers have explored the application of fatty acids methyl esters in order to expand its field.
Japanese Lion and German Condia have been comparing FMEE and laurate ethanol since the 1990s.
Both have similar surface tension properties, such as wetting power, but the foaming and turbidity points of the alcohol ether are lower. The water solubility is also slightly lower.
Henkel has found that fatty acid methyl esters ethoxylates containing a mass fraction of 60% EO have a significantly higher stain removal ability than alcohol ether (AEO), with the same carbon numbers, at 40C.
A patent shows that fatty acid-methyl ester ethoxylates can be used in a variety of applications due to the excellent surface properties.
The Chinese National Institute of Daily Chemical Industry's technical staff developed the technology and catalyst for the preparation of FMEE, using fatty acid-methyl ester (FAME) as a raw material with ethylene oxide added. They also studied the synthesis of FMEE utilizing a selfmade catalyst.
The results indicate that FMEE is not only similar to AEO in terms of properties, but also offers the following advantages: low foaming, quick water solubility (strong oil solubilization), less skin irritation, and good biodegradation. This makes FMEE ideal for hard surface cleaning as well as liquid cleaning pesticides emulsifiers.
China Daily Chemical Industry Research Institute & Fushun Dongyuan Chemical Plant Cooperation completed two industrial scale production experiments in 2002 at Fushun Dongyuan Chemical Plant 52,000V/a.
The manufacturer uses cMEE-8 which is the epoxy ethane in condensed form with 8 molecular. The powdered washing has undergone various tests and produced good results. It has good prospects for industrial use.
