FMEE Fatty Methyl Ester Ethoxylates CAS 65218-33-7

FMEE (Fatty Methyl Ester Ethoxylates) is a non-ionic low foamed surface active agent. Under low temperatures (below 60 degrees), it has excellent net cleaning performance. Two types are available: P816 & 24-09.

FMEE Fatty Methyl Ester Ethoxylates is a molecular formula that has Ester, which is similar to wax and oil structure. Oil, mineral oils, and paraffin wand have strong removal and dissolution ability, based on the principle of phase similar dissolution. The cloud point of this product is between 98 to 103 degrees, which allows it to be used in high-temperature processes. It has a liquid point of -5°C and is still fluid at this temperature, which makes it superior to the AEO and TX Series. FMEE, when near zero, is no longer clear and is cloudy. It still has good flow. FMEE Fatty Ester Ethoxylates had a significantly higher infiltration rate than AEO-9 and AEO-7. As a test solution, 5g/L was used. The settling time on standard canvas was then used to determine the infiltration performance.

There are three ways to produce FMEE Fat Methyl Ester Ethoxylates.

First, fatty acid is ethoxylated in order to get polyoxyethylene ether. Next, methanol is esterified to get. The second step is methanol polyether ethoxylation, followed by esterification with fatty acids. Two-step processes, high cost and low active matter are the main drawbacks of these two routes. The third process involves the addition of fatty acids methyl esters to ethylene dioxide. The cost is low and the process is quick. This synthesis is used by the FMEE production companies, like Sihe Petroleum or Malepine Petroleum.

FMEE: Fatty Methyl Ester Ethoxylates

FMEE can be used in secondary oil flooding on the oilfield. Mining can benefit from flotation. FMEE can clean, metal degreasing and degreasing. In papermaking, textile printing and dyeing industries can be flotation deinking oil and wax. It is also used for cleaning household products and daily cleaning.
