Methyl Ester Sulphonate Production Cost Reports

Methyl Ester Sulphonate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Methyl Ester Sulphonate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Methyl Ester Sulphonate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Methyl Ester Sulphonate (MES) is an eco-friendly anionic surfactant that is synthesized from renewable plant resources. These are green surfactants which are used in sustainable washing detergents.

MES (C6H13NO4S) has basic surfactant properties and, along with that, other characteristics such as biodegradability, solid structure, high detergency, and water hardness tolerance property. Its chemical structure includes a morpholine ring. It has a molecular weight of 195.2 g/mol at 20 °C, it has a pKa value of 6.15. It is highly soluble in water. The chemical compound's melting point is nearly 300 °C.

The demand for MES surfactant is rising due to it being an eco-friendly product that is usually used as a key ingredient in laundry detergents, mainly as a substitute for Linear Alkyl Benzoate Sulfonate. They are being widely used due to their optimum performance of the end-products. In the form of free-flow flakes, they can be mixed in a pre-mix with water, which can be added into liquid detergent formulations easily. The chemical is also used to manufacture laundry detergent soaps and powders paired with personal care products such as soaps, shampoos and dishwashing.

In addition, it also has use as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. Furthermore, it has wide usage as a non-coordinating buffer in chemistry which involves metal ions since several common buffers, such as acetate and phosphate, readily form coordination complexes. Other factors propelling the industry demand include a growing focus on grooming and styling, increased expenditure on personal care, as well as rising concerns over the environment which gives rise to the demand for bio-based personal care products.
