Overview of PGMS Propylene Glycol Monostearate
PGMS Propylene glycol monostearate is an organic compound. Its appearance is usually white or light yellow waxy solid with good fat solubility and stability. The synthesis method of PGMS Propylene glycol monostearate is mainly prepared through esterification reaction. In the esterification reaction, stearic acid and propylene glycol undergo a heating reaction under anhydrous conditions to generate propylene glycol monostearate. This synthesis process requires the presence of a catalyst to increase reaction efficiency and yield.
Product Performance of PGMS Propylene Glycol Monostearate
PGMS propylene glycol monostearate appears as white to light yellow liquid, or yellow flakes or powder, with fragrance. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ethyl acetate, and chloroform, but insoluble in water. It can be dispersed into an emulsion when stirred in hot water. Rat oral LD5010g/kg, ADI0 ~ 25mg/kg (FAO/WHO, 1994).

Application of PGMS Propylene Glycol Monostearate
PGMS propylene glycol monostearate is a nonionic surfactant. It is an ester produced by the reaction of propylene glycol and stearic acid. Therefore, it has excellent emulsification, wetting and dispersing properties, low irritation, low toxicity and biodegradability, and has less impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, it is a very popular surfactant and is widely used in various daily chemical products.
Application of PGMS Propylene Glycol Monostearate
PGMS propylene glycol monostearate is used in the daily chemical industry to make cream cosmetics to increase the lubricity, fineness and stability of the cream, and to have a moisturizing effect, such as in lipsticks.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a W/O food emulsifier in the manufacture of emulsions, ointments, suppositories and other medicines. It has foaming, foam stability and emulsifying properties. It is often used in cakes to increase its specific volume. Our country stipulates that it can be used in pastries with a maximum usage of 2.0g/kg.

Q1
Is PGMS irritating to skin?
Answer: PGMS is generally safe for skin under normal conditions of use. However, with some sensitive skin types, allergic reactions may occur. Therefore, when using products containing PGMS, it is recommended to conduct a skin test first.
Q2
What is the role of PGMS in cosmetics?
Answer: In cosmetics, PGMS mainly acts as an emulsifier, dispersant and stabilizer to help improve the texture and stability of the product, making it easy to spread and spread.
Q3
Is PGMS safe for use in food?
Answer: The application of PGMS in food is safe, but the maximum usage amount stipulated in relevant regulations and standards should be followed.
Q4
What are the storage conditions for PGMS?
Answer: GMS should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. At the same time, the container should be kept sealed to prevent moisture and contamination.
Q5
What are the advantages of PGMS over other surfactants?
Answer: Compared with other surfactants, PGMS has good emulsification, dispersion and stability properties, and has good compatibility and can be used with a variety of ingredients.
