Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) has excellent properties of emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, softening, antistatic, pearling etc.
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) in the surfactant combinations dissolve or emulsifies after heating, it become crystal like eyeglass during the decreasing of temperature, thus produce pearl gross.
In liquid detergents, Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) is used to create obvious pearl effect, and it will increase the viscosity of the product, have good function of moistening skin, hair maintaining and antistatic.
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) has good solubility with other forms of surfactants, and it shows its stable pearling effect and thickening recuperate function.
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) has non-irritation to skin, not hurt hairs. Comparing result shows that Ethylene Glycol Distearate create strong pearly-lustre, while Ethylene Glycol Monostearate create delicate pearly-lustre.
Applications
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) is used in shampoo, body washing liquid, skin moistening paste, top grade liquid detergents etc.
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) can also be used in pharmaceutical products as pearl dispersing agent, thickening agent, lubricant, metal process detergent, fiber process area etc.
Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) can also be used in liquid washing products, it has obvious pearling effect, and will enhance the viscosity of product. It also has functions of moistening skin, nursing hair and antistatic. Nonirritating to skins and without any harm, so suitable in shampoo, shower cleanser, cream and high standard liquid detergent.
Widely use in pharmacy and detergent, as pearl dispersant, solubilizer, lubricant, metal processing scour and fiber processing field.
Suitable to be used in thermal formulating technology, recommended dosage is 0.8-2%
