PENTAERYTHRITOL MONOSTEARATE, also known as PEG-18 diglyceride, is a chemical. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
-Appearance: PEG-18 diglyceride is a colorless to pale yellow liquid.
-Solubility: It is soluble in water and many organic solvents.
Usage:
-PEG-18 diglyceride is commonly used as a surfactant and emulsifier, which helps to increase the stability and moisturizing effect of the product.
-It can also serve as a plasticizer and emulsifier.
Preparation Method:
PEG-18 diglyceride can be obtained by reacting octadecanoic acid (or its sodium salt) with sodium hydroxide to obtain sodium octadecanoate, and then reacting with hydroxyethyl formate to obtain PEG-18 diglyceride. The detailed production method can be carried out by an organic synthesis method.
Security information:
-Irritation to skin: PEG-18 diglycerides are considered a low irritant compound, but may cause allergic reactions in a few individuals.
-Toxicity: Any chemical substance should be used in the correct way and avoid ingestion or direct contact with the eyes.
-Follow the safety operation guidelines provided by the manufacturer and supplier, and carefully read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety information before use.
