【Alias】Glycol monostearate; Ethylene glycol distearate; Pearl double ester; Pearlizing agent; Pearl flakes                                                                                                          【English Name】Ethylene Glycol Distearate

【Abbreviation】EGDS

【Structural Formula】CH3(CH2)16C00CH2CH200C(CH2)16CH3

【Molecular Weight】594.97 

【CAS Number】627-83-8

【Properties】White to slightly yellow flaky solid with a slight waxy or fatty odor. Melting point 58-64°C. Dissolves or emulsifies when heated in surfactant complexes; upon cooling, it precipitates as lens-shaped crystals, thereby producing a pearlescent luster. Used in liquid detergent products to create a pearlescent effect and increase product viscosity. Exhibits good compatibility with other types of surfactants. Comparatively, ethylene glycol distearate produces a stronger pearlescence, while ethylene glycol monostearate yields a finer pearlescent effect.

【Application】Used in formulations such as shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, skin care lotions, and liquid detergents. Also applicable in metal processing detergents and fiber processing fields.
