ETHYLENEGLYCOLSTEARATES Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Chemische Eigenschaften
The USP32–NF27 and PhEur 6.0 describe ethylene glycol stearates
as a mixture of ethylene glycol monoesters and diesters of stearic
and palmitic acids, containing not less than 50% of monoesters
produced from the condensation of ethylene glycol and stearic acid,
of vegetable or animal origin.
Ethylene glycol stearates occur as a white or almost white waxy
solid.
Vorbereitung Methode
Ethylene glycol stearates are produced from the condensation of
ethylene glycol with stearic acid 50 of vegetable or animal origin.
Pharmazeutische Anwendungen
Ethylene glycol stearates are used as stabilizers for water-in-oil
emulsions, although they have poor emulsifying properties. They
have emollient properties and are also used as opacifying,
thickening, and dispersing agents.
In cosmetics, ethylene glycol stearates are used as a ‘fatty body’
for lipsticks, as pearling agents in opalescent and cream shampoos,
and as additives for tanning lubricants.
Sicherheit(Safety)
Ethylene glycol stearates are mainly used in cosmetics and topical
pharmaceutical formulations, where they are generally regarded as
relatively nontoxic and nonirritant materials.
Lager
Ethylene glycol stearates should be stored in a cool, dark place,
protected from light.
Regulatory Status
Included in nonparenteral medicines licensed in Europe.
