Why should add Glycerin monostearate in EPE FOAM production?

In the process of producing Extruded Polyethylene Foam (EPE foam) , some additives will be added to improve its quality.

Glycerin monostearate GMS powder is one of the commonly used additives in the production process.

We will find that the products with Glycerin monostearate GMS powder added are basically of good quality.

1. Glycerin monostearate GMS powder aids foaming, anti shortening, smoothing, anti-static, modification and anti fogging.

2.As far as pearl cotton is concerned, Glycerin monostearate GMS powder can be used as a foaming agent for highly foamed polyethylene and polystyrene, together with butane and other foaming agents, and has a very good effect.   

Moreover, the surface of the plastic foamed products using molecular distillation monoglyceride is very smooth, clean and bright without shrinkage.

3. Glycerin monostearate GMS powder is an excellent internal lubricant, which can reduce the friction between polymer molecules, thereby reducing the viscosity of polymer melt and improving its fluidity.

It has the advantages of good compatibility with resin, easy dispersion, suitable for transparent products, etc

Its antistatic effect is good, which can reduce the electrostatic composition and accumulation of pearl cotton, reduce the dust absorption of plastic products, and adhere to the transparency and clean and beautiful surface of products.
