Characteristics and Applications

GMS	Characteristics GMS is insoluble in water and exhibits excellent water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifying properties. It is almost odorless and can appear in various physical forms such as powders, flakes, or waxy lumps. Applications Food Industry: GMS is utilized as an emulsifier in the production of candies and chocolate products, a foaming agent in cakes, and a defoaming agent in soy milk. Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceuticals, GMS functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer, lubricant, and defoaming agent in ointments, creams, suppositories, lotions, and aerosols. Daily Chemical Industry: GMS is used as an emulsifier and lubricant in shampoos and detergents. Plastics Industry: It acts as an internal antistatic agent for polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), typically in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2.0%.
GMO	Characteristics GMO is insoluble in water and known for its emulsifying, thickening, and defoaming properties. Applications Daily Chemical Industry: GMO is employed as an emulsifier, thickener, opacifier, and defoaming agent in creams, lotions, and liquid shampoos. Textile Industry: It serves as a fabric finishing agent. Pigment Industry: GMO is an additive for pigment grinding. Plastics Industry: It functions as an internal antistatic agent for PE, PP, and PVC, with a typical usage range of 0.5% to 2.0%.
GML	Characteristics GML is insoluble in water, offering both emulsifying and lubricating properties. Applications GML is extensively used across the food, cosmetics, textile, and leather industries due to its multifunctional properties.
BPMS	Characteristics BPMS is characterized by its insolubility in water and its emulsifying, lubricating, and solubilizing properties. Applications Food Industry: BPMS acts as an emulsifier for cakes. Daily Chemical Industry: It enhances the lubrication, fineness, stability, and moisture retention of creams and lotions. Pharmaceutical Industry: BPMS serves as an emulsifier in ointments, creams, emulsions, and suppositories.
BPMO	Characteristics BPMO is insoluble in water and noted for its emulsifying and lubricating properties. Applications BPMO is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, leather, coatings, plastics, and pesticides, making it a versatile component across multiple sectors.
BPML	Characteristics BPML is insoluble in water and primarily functions as an emulsifier and opacifier. Applications Daily Chemical Industry: BPML is used in shampoos as an emulsifier and opacifier. Pigment Industry: It acts as an additive for pigment grinding.
EHMS	Characteristics EHMS is insoluble in water but soluble in most solvents, mineral oils, and vegetable oils. Applications Textile Industry: EHMS is utilized as a lubricant in textile oils and rust inhibitors. Paper Industry: It serves as a plasticizer in the paper industry.
