ETHYLENE GLYCOL DISTEARATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Beads

Uses

Ethylene Glycol Distearate is used in the making of face wash and shampoo.

Uses

Ethylene glycol distearate is suggested for use as an opacifier, pearlescing agent and viscosity modifier in cosmetic formulations and household product formulations.

Definition

Pearlizing agents.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Solubility in water

Ethylene glycol distearate  is almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, acetone and ethyl ether.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the ester from *benzene/MeOH, diethyl ether/MeOH or Me2CO and dry it in a vacuum desiccator. It forms an inclusion compound with 31 mols of urea. [McGreer et al. J Am Chem Soc 74 3541 1952, Beilstein 2 H 380, 2 II 354, 2 III 1021, 2 IV 1223.]
