Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) dissolve or emulsifies in the surfactant combinations after heating, during the decreasing of temperature, it separate out eyeglass form crystal, thus produce pearl luster.
Pearling agent has two types, natural and synthetic. Natural pearling agent are shell powder, mica powder or natural gum etc. Synthetic pearling agent includes high grade alcohol acids, alcohols, stearates etc, in which Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) and Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) possesses the best properties and have the most width application domains.
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) produce strong pearly luster, while Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) produce exquisite pearly luster.
Applications
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is mainly be used in liquid detergent products to increase pearl effect. It works as pearl agent in shampoo, as a kind of additive which can give the product pearly luster, and it has good function of recuperating the hair.
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is widely used in high grade shampoo, body washing liquid, and other hair and skin care products.
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) can also be used in metal cleaning and fiber processing domains.
