PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

EGDS Ethylene Glycol Distearate of Pearl Slice is an ester-based raw material supplied as a white to light yellow solid, typically with a waxy or flake-like appearance. It is chemically identified as Ethylene Glycol Distearate, also commonly known as Glycol Distearate. The material is produced through the esterification of ethylene glycol with stearic acid and is valued primarily for its pearlescent and opacifying properties. In suitable cleansing and personal-care formulations, it helps create a smooth, opaque, pearl-like visual appearance. The referenced commercial grade is controlled through appearance, acidity, saponification value, and iodine value specifications. It also has a referenced melting range of 60-65°C. EGDS is commonly associated with lotions, creams, shampoos, hand cleansers, and related surfactant-based formulations. Final formulation suitability and quality requirements should be confirmed against the actual supplier COA, Safety Data Sheet, and technical documentation.
