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.

The Fatty Acid methyl Ester was initially used mainly for the production fatty alcohols. However, it can also be sulfonated fatty acid, methyl esters a= sodium, namely, MES.
MES has a poor color and generates a large amount of disodium salt, which impacts the washing performance. It is difficult, too, to manufacture high-concentration products that are viscous and difficult to price compete with linearalkylbenzeneSodiumSulfonate. Fatty acid methyl ester is made from renewable oil which meets all the requirements for human living.
With the increasing global environmental protection standards, the percentage of surfactants produced from renewable sources has increased, as well as the production of natural oil. Therefore, the use and production of fatty acid-methyl ester have been gradually increasing. Recently, both domestic and foreign researchers have explored the possibilities for fatty acids methyl esters to be used in a wider range of applications.
Japanese Lion and German Condia have been comparing FMEE and laurate ether (alcohol ether) since the 1990s.
Both have similar surface tension properties, such as wetting power and detergency. However, alcohol ether has a lower turbidity and foaming point, and its water solubility, which is slightly less than the former.
Henkel has found that fatty acid methyl ethoxylates containing a mass fraction of 60% EO have a significantly higher stain removal ability than alcohol ethers (AEOs) at 40C.
A patent suggests that fatty acid-methyl ester ethoxylates can be used in a variety of applications due to the excellent surface properties.
In China, technical staff of China National Institute of Daily Chemical Industry have developed a technology and catalyst for the preparation of FMEE utilizing fatty acid methyl esters and ethylene dioxide addition. They also studied FMEE synthesis using an in-house 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 compressed with 8 molecular condensate. The powdered washing has undergone various tests and produced good results. It has good prospects for industrial use.
