PALMFONATE Methyl Ester Sulphonate (MES) is an anionic surfactant derived from renewable feedstocks and it is an attractive green alternative to current mainstream surfactants commonly used in the Home Care applications – linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS/LABSA), alpha olefin sulphonates (AOS), which are predominantly petrochemical based. The PALMFONATE MES can also be used as a complementary surfactant to stabilise cost in use in synergy with primary alcohol sulphates (PAS) and alcohol ethoxylated sulphate (AES) which are also from renewable feedstocks.

With the ever increasing awareness of leading FMCG companies towards preserving the scarce planet resources for future generations, i.e. doing business in a sustainable manner, the demand for renewable and highly performing alternatives to the current petrochemical based surfactants has never been stronger. PALMFONATE MES is the perfect surfactant choice due to its excellent attributes: high detergency performance, excellent water hardness tolerance, compatibility with other high performing ingredients and superior mildness to skin.
