Glycol monostearate
Ethylene glycol monostearate (EGMS), also known as glycol stearate, is an organic compound. It is a diester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid, and is commonly used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and solubilizer in cosmetics, including shower gels, shampoos, and body washes.
Product Functional Category and Applications
1. Shampoo & Personal Care Industry
This product is widely used in daily chemical formulations such as shampoos, bath gels, moisturizers, and high-end liquid detergents. It has excellent thickening, foam stabilizing, and appearance-improving effects, enhancing the product's smoothness and gloss. When using a cold-mixing process, to ensure a uniform and stable pearlescent effect, the pearl flakes must be pre-prepared into a pearlescent paste before being added to the system.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical production, this product can be used as a pearlescent dispersant, solubilizer, and lubricant to improve the uniformity, dissolution, and processing performance of formulations. It is suitable for various external or daily chemical drug processing scenarios.
3. Metal & Fiber Processing Industry
This product can be used as a lubricant and solubilizer in metalworking fluids to improve system stability and processing smoothness; in the field of fiber processing, it exhibits good dispersibility and compatibility, and can improve the effect of spinning, post-processing and other processes.
