Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) is a surfactant derived from renewable oleochemical sources like palm and coconut oil, commonly used in laundry detergents as a replacement for traditional surfactants like Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate (LABS). It has notable advantages, including high detergency, good tolerance to water hardness, and excellent biodegradability.
Here are some typical specifications for MES:
Appearance: Off-white powder or flakes
Active Matter: 78% minimum
Zeolite Content: 8-12% (for some grades)
Moisture Content: Maximum of 6%
pH (10% solution): Between 5 and 8
Form: Powder or Flake
Packaging: Commonly in 25 kg bags or larger bulk packaging
Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) offers several benefits, especially in detergent and cleaning applications:
1. High Detergency: MES has excellent cleaning power, effectively removing dirt and stains from clothes and surfaces, even in hard water conditions. This makes it a better choice than some traditional surfactants like Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate (LABS)

2.Environmental Friendliness: MES is highly biodegradable, making it more environmentally friendly compared to many synthetic surfactants. Its use reduces the negative impact on the environment and helps minimize pollution
WILMAR INTERNATIONAL
3. Hard Water Tolerance: MES works well in hard water, making it ideal for use in areas with varying water conditions
