Description

Diethylene Glycol Distearate is a non-ionic, waxy ester derived from diethylene glycol and stearic acid. This compound serves as a versatile emollient, opacifier, and viscosity modifier, providing excellent texture and stability to formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants sectors for its conditioning and thickening properties.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a key emollient and pearlescent agent in creams, lotions, hair conditioners, and decorative makeup.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a thickening agent and provides lubricity in various metalworking and textile fiber lubricants.
• Plastic & Polymer Industry: Used as an internal and external lubricant and anti-static agent in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed as a softener and finishing agent to improve the hand feel of fabrics.
• Candle Manufacturing: Serves as a hardening agent and opacifier to improve the burn quality and appearance of candles.
• Paper Coatings: Utilized to impart water resistance and improve surface gloss in specialty paper products.
