Ethylene Glycol Distearate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is a high-performance diester used primarily as a pearlizing agent in surfactant systems. Our Technical Grade material ensures consistent crystal formation to provide a brilliant, pearlescent luster to liquid formulations.
This compound functions effectively as an opacifier and emulsion stabilizer, enhancing the sensory profile of personal care products. It is valued for its ability to increase viscosity while maintaining a stable crystalline structure in aqueous environments.
The product is derived from high-purity Stearic Acid, ensuring minimal odor and excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants. It remains a staple for achieving premium aesthetic appeal in commercial rinse-off applications.
APPLICATIONS
- Pearlizing Agent: Provides a luxurious pearlescent appearance in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.
- Opacifying Agent: Used to mask transparency and provide a creamy texture to industrial detergents and cosmetic lotions.
- Emulsion Stabilizer: Aids in the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions by modifying the rheological properties of the external phase.
SAFETY & RISKS
Not classified as hazardous under GHS, but dust inhalation should be avoided. Handle with Gloves and Safety Goggles to prevent mild irritation during processing.
