Products Description of ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOSTEARATE CAS#111-60-4
Ethylene glycol monostearate is a nonionic surfactant synthesized via the esterification of stearic acid and ethylene glycol. It typically appears as a white to slightly yellow waxy solid, flake, or powder, with a mild fatty odor. It is readily soluble in organic solvents like hot ethanol and ether, and can disperse in warm water to form an emulsion. Its molecular structure integrates hydrophilic ethylene glycol groups and lipophilic stearic acid chains, endowing it with excellent emulsifying, dispersing, thickening, and lubricating properties.
