Biodegradability: coconut methyl ethoxy ether can be catabolized by microorganisms and has good biodegradability. This means that CMEO can be gradually degraded in the natural environment after use, reducing the long-term impact on the environment.

Physical properties

Good solubility: coconut methyl ethoxy ether has good solubility and can dissolve various oils and waxy components. This property makes CMEO ideal for manufacturing complex systems such as emulsions and microemulsions because of its ability to mix ingredients with different properties evenly.

Low viscosity: The viscosity of coconut methyl ethoxy ether is relatively low, making it easy to flow and apply. In personal care products, the low viscosity properties of CMEO help improve the product's freshness and permeability.

Low surface tension: Coconut methyl ethoxy ether has a low surface tension, making it easy to spread on the skin's surface and penetrate the stratum corneum. This helps to improve the wettability and spreadability of the product, making the skin smoother and more moisturized.

Excellent moisturizing properties: Because coconut methyl ethoxy ether has good moisturizing properties, it is widely used in personal care products, such as face cream, lip balm and shampoo. CMEO effectively locks in moisture, providing long-lasting moisturizing and moisturizing to the skin.

Good compatibility: Coconut methyl ethoxy ether is compatible with other oils, waxy ingredients, and additives. This helps to improve product stability and extend product shelf life.

Biocompatibility and safety

Biocompatibility: Coconut methyl ethoxy ether is compatible with human skin and mucosa and does not easily cause allergy or irritation. In the application of personal care products, CMEO helps to improve the comfort and tolerability of products.

Safety: Coconut methyl ethoxy ether is safe under normal conditions of use. However, because each person's skin condition is different, allergic or irritating reactions may occur for some people. Individual skin testing is recommended before using products containing coconut methyl ethoxyl ether.

Production Method of  CMEE Coconut Methyl Ester Ethoxylates :

Esterification process

Esterification is one of the earliest production methods of methyl ethoxyl ether of coconut. Esterification synthesized the cocoanut methyl ethoxyl ether from coconut oil and ethylene oxide. The esterification reaction is usually carried out in the presence of catalysts; commonly used catalysts include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, organic sulfonic acid, etc. During the reaction, ethylene oxide is esterified with the carboxyl group in coconut oil to produce the corresponding ethoxylated coconut oil. Then, coconut methyl ethoxy ether was obtained by refining and purifying.

The advantages of esterification are a wide source of raw materials, a mature process, and large-scale production. However, the esterification method also has some disadvantages, such as using strong acid catalysts, which will cause corrosion to the equipment, more by-products, and lower product purity. To improve product quality and reduce environmental pollution, it is necessary to strengthen the treatment and recycling of by-products.

Etherification method

Etherification is a relatively new method for producing methyl ethoxyl ether from coconut. The cocoanut methyl ethoxy ether was synthesized by etherification reaction from coconut oil and ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. Etherification reaction is usually carried out under the action of catalysts; commonly used catalysts include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, acid catalyst, and so on. In the reaction process, the epoxy alkane is etherified with the hydroxyl group in coconut oil to produce the corresponding ethoxylated coconut oil. Then, coconut methyl ethoxy ether was obtained by refining and purifying.

Etherification has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, a wide source of raw materials, and high product purity. In addition, the etherification method can adopt a continuous production mode, improve production efficiency, and reduce energy consumption. However, etherification has disadvantages, such as strong catalyst dependence, high equipment requirements, and many by-products. To achieve green production, further optimizing the process parameters and the treatment of by-products is necessary.

Biological fermentation method

Biological fermentation is a new method for producing methyl ethoxy ether from coconut. The method uses microbial strains as a catalyst to convert glucose or other carbon sources into coconut methyl ethoxy ether. The advantages of biological fermentation are environmental friendliness, strong reproducibility and high product purity. In addition, genetic engineering and metabolic engineering means can improve microbial strains and product yield and quality. However, the biological fermentation method still has some challenges, such as strain screening and cultivation difficulty and the complexity of fermentation process control. The microbial strains and fermentation process parameters need to be further optimized to achieve large-scale production.
