Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Sulfonic Acid (Salt)
(α-MES)
Synonym Name alpha-MES; MES; palm stearin MES; C1618 MES; C12 MES;
Fatty acid methyl ester sulfonic acid;
sodium salt α-sulfonated methyl esters derived from palm stearin;
methyl sodium sulfoaliphatate;
Sodium α-sulfo fatty acid methyl ester;
palm derived sodium alpha sulfo-methyl ester
DESCRIPTION α-MES is a surfactant of high effect made of natural plant and animal oil and fat. It is characterized by good wetting, emulsifying, softening and resistance to hard water, and good solubility, high degradation rate, little stimulation to skin, high frothing ability. Especially in hard water, it’s frothing ability is better than LAS and K12. With good decontaminating ability, especially under the existence of non-phosphor agent, it is suitable for confecting low-phosphor and non-phosphor scour. It has high dispersing power of calcium soap, used as the active matter and disperser of calcium soap in soap, compound soap and soap powder. It can improve and adjust the viscosity of paste detergent and washing powder slurry. The liquid detergent confected with it has high cleaning power and good low temperature stability. It is also applicable in many industrial fields, such as emulsifier agent of plastic industry, demoulding agent of rubber product, dyeing agent, pigment, dye of printing and dyeing industry, wetting agent and dispersant of agricultural chemicals, etc.
CHARACTERISTICS

1. Excellent resistance to water hardness from its ability to sequester hard water ions;
2. Excellent detergency for carbon chains C14 to C18;
3. Remarkable synergism with several nonionic and anionic surfactants.
4. Low toxicity and skin irritation; Low aquatic toxicity
5. MES based surfactant systems offer competitive properties for a broad variety of
detergent and personal care applications. Excellent co-surfactant with soaps.
Improving the formation of stable foam
