Distilled Monoglycerides GMS99 used in EPE foam

Monoglyceride glycerol monostearate, called DMG95 or GMS99, mainly used in the plastic industry as lubricant, demoulding agents, plasticizers, antistatic agent, antifogging, anti-shrinkage etc.

Why should we add distilled monoglycerides DMG95 into EPE foam?

Distilled Monoglyceride is an ideal foaming agent and anti-shrinkage agent, it can be used as a foaming agent of high foamed polyethylene, polystyrene, with butane and other foaming agents with a very good effect.

Distilled Monoglyceride is a good high-energy additives, with stability, help foam, anti-shrinkage, lubrication, anti-static, help modification and anti-atomization, in daily chemical industry, plastic, packaging and cosmetics and other industries.

Glycerin monostearate is a common additive used in expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam. Here are some key details about its use in EPE foam:

1. Function:

   • Glycerin monostearate acts as a lubricant and mold release agent in the production of EPE foam.
   • It helps improve the flow and release of the foam from the mold, facilitating easier manufacturing.
   • It can also improve the surface finish and appearance of the final EPE foam product.
   •  

2. Concentration:

   • Typical usage levels of glycerin monostearate in EPE foam formulations range from 0.5% to 2% by weight.
   • The exact concentration used depends on the specific EPE foam recipe and manufacturing process.
   •  

3. Benefits:

   • Enhances the moldability and demolding of the EPE foam.
   • Contributes to a smoother, more consistent surface on the finished foam parts.
   • Can improve the dimensional stability and reduce warping or deformation of the EPE foam.
