Methyl Ester Ethoxylate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MEE
Methyl ester ethoxylate supplier for cleaning, textile and agrochemical formulators in Malaysia. This page covers methyl ester ethoxylate, the nonionic surfactant abbreviated MEE, selected by ethoxylation level rather than by the broad name alone.
The 7 EO and 9 EO grades can be requested. Both are clear to slightly hazy liquids produced by ethoxylating fatty acid methyl esters. Lower EO levels favour low-foam cleaning, while higher levels give more hydrophilic behaviour.
Formulators use MEE in industrial, institutional and household cleaning systems, as a wetting and washing aid in textile processing and as an emulsifier in agrochemical work. State the formulation role so the quoted grade matches the system.
Send the required 7 EO or 9 EO grade, formulation role, specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- 7 EO grade, 9 EO grade

Safety and handling
Keep methyl ester ethoxylate sealed in a cool, dry place. Check the quoted EO grade for clouding at low temperature before dosing.
Common questions about methyl ester ethoxylate
What is methyl ester ethoxylate used for?
Methyl ester ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant made from fatty acid methyl esters. It is valued for low foam and good cleaning in industrial and household formulations, for textile wetting and for agrochemical emulsions.
Which EO grade of methyl ester ethoxylate should I request?
Lower-EO grades such as 7 EO are chosen for low-foam cleaning and hard-surface work, while higher grades such as 9 EO give more hydrophilic behaviour for detergents, textiles and emulsification. State the formulation role so the quoted grade fits.
Is methyl ester ethoxylate the same as methyl ester sulphonate?
No. Methyl ester ethoxylate is a nonionic ethoxylated surfactant, while methyl ester sulphonate is an anionic sulphonated product. They are separate materials with different specifications, so request each under its own name.
What specifications should be provided for methyl ester ethoxylate?
Include the EO mole grade, any active content or pH requirement, quantity and delivery location. Documentation needs can be stated with the enquiry.
How is methyl ester ethoxylate priced for Malaysian buyers?
Price depends on EO grade, quantity, packing and delivery location. Send those details so the quotation can carry its own validity period.
