DEFINITION
Sodium myreth sulfate is a mixture of organic compounds with both detergent and surfactant properties.
Sodium myreth sulfate is found in many personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, and toothpaste.
Sodium myreth sulfate is an inexpensive and effective foaming agent.
Typical of many detergents, sodium myreth sulfate consists of several closely related compounds.
Sometimes the number of ethylene glycol ether units (n) is specified in the name as myreth-n sulfate, for example myreth-2 sulfate.
Sodium Myreth Sulfate is the sodium salt of sulfated, ethoxylated myristyl alcohol which is used as a surfactant and cleansing agent in cosmetics at concentrations ranging from > 1.0–5.0% to > 50.0%.
A formulation containing 7.0% Sodium Myreth Sulfate was shown to be an ocular irritant in experimental animals and in some human test subjects.
These irritant effects were similar to those previously reported for the chemically similar compound Sodium Laureth Sulfate which was shown to be safe for use in cosmetics.
Sodium myreth sulfate, or sodium myristyl ether sulfate (SMES), is a detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.).
Sodium myreth sulfate is a cheap and very effective foaming agent.
Sodium myreth sulfate's CAS registry number is [025446-80-4].
Sodium myreth sulfate is very similar to sodium laureth sulfate; the only difference is two more carbons in the fatty alcohol molecule on the hydrophobic tail.
Both detergents are manufactured by ethoxylation which 1,4-dioxane may be produced.
Sodium myreth sulfate's chemical formula is CH3(CH2)12CH2(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na.

Production
Sodium myreth sulfate is very similar to sodium laureth sulfate; the only difference is two more carbons in the fatty alcohol portion of the hydrophobic tail.
Sodium myreth sulfate is manufactured by ethoxylation (hence the "eth" in "myreth") of myristyl alcohol.
Subsequently, the terminal OH group is converted to the sulfate by treatment with chlorosulfuric acid.
