Global Methyl Ester Sulfonate Market: Overview
Methyl ester sulfonate, also known as MES, is a group of anionic surfactants which is derived from renewable resources such as natural fats and oils. MES has a general structure RCH(CO2Me)SO3Na. MES can be made by the sulfonation of saturated fatty acid methyl esters, RCH2CO2Me derived from natural fats and oils. It has high detergency and calcium ion stability. MES has attractive biological properties such as low toxicity and easy and rapid degradation, as compared to other surfactants. Other properties of MES include good solubility, resistance to hard water, little stimulation to skin, and high frothing ability. The raw materials used for the production of the methyl ester sulfonate is the palm oil, so the cost is low compared to the other surfactants.
