Sulfonated methyl esters, synthesized from renewable plant resources, are an example of green surfactants used in eco-friendly washing detergents. Its primary use is as a substitute to the current surfactant workhorse, Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate, in detergent formulas. It is made from renewable natural resources, which gives it excellent bio-degradability, improved calcium hardness tolerance during the washing process, and superior detergency.

Available in dry free-flowing powder, flakes and paste. Sulfonated methyl esters powder grade enables direct addition to detergent formulas in the post-addition step in the manufacturing process.
