Product Introduction

Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) – High Purity Pearlizing Agent Manufacturer

1. Product Introduction

Ethylene Glycol Distearate, commonly abbreviated as EGDS, is a high-efficiency, widely used non-ionic surfactant and premium pearlizing agent with the CAS number 627-83-8 and EC number 211-014-3. It appears as a white to off-white flaky or powdery solid with stable physical and chemical properties, excellent pearlescent effect and good dispersion performance. As a classic and essential cosmetic and daily chemical additive, EGDS features outstanding opacifying, emulsifying, lubricating and thickening functions. It can form uniform and elegant pearl luster in aqueous surfactant systems without affecting the original fragrance, viscosity and foaming performance of finished products. Our high-purity Ethylene Glycol Distearate is produced by advanced esterification synthesis and refined purification technology, with low impurity content, stable batch consistency and excellent pearl luster presentation effect, fully compliant with international cosmetic-grade and industrial-grade production standards, widely applied in global personal care, daily chemical and fine chemical industries.
