Description

PEG-120 methyl glucose triisostearate is a chemical compound, the polyethylene glycol ether of triesters of stearic acid and methyl glucose..The number next to PEG (Polyethylene glycol) indicates the units of ethylene oxide.
Methyl glucose (methyl α-d-glucopyranoside) is composed of glucose with a methyl ether group. It is produced by transesterification techniques.

Safety. The term 'eth' refers to the ethoxylation process (reaction with ethylene oxide) after which residues of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, chemical compounds considered carcinogenic, may remain in the final product. It depends on the degree of purity resulting from the completed reaction.

What it is used for and where it is used
Cosmetics
Viscosity Enhancing Agent - aqueous. Since viscosity is important for increasing the chemical and physical stability of the product, Viscosity Enhancing Agent acqueous is an important dosage factor in gels, suspensions, emulsions, solutions. Increasing viscosity makes formulations less sedimentary and more homogeneously thickened.
