About GMS Chemical

We are offering a distinct range of GMS Chemical. It is manufactured under the strict observation of talented experts and cutting edge technologies. Apart from this, provided chemical is a food additive used as a thickening. It is a preserving agent which is also used in waxes, solvents and control release agent in pharmaceuticals. GMS Chemical is also aid to improve dough quality and stabilize fat. It has a high nutritive value and non-toxic in nature.

Exceptional Emulsification and Stabilizing Properties

GMS acts as an efficient emulsifier and stabilizer, ensuring uniform particle distribution in various food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and plastic formulations. Its ability to enhance consistency and texture makes it crucial for manufacturers seeking high-quality, reliable results in their products.

Stringent Food Safety and Quality Compliance

With a lead content of less than 2 ppm and compliance with food-grade heavy metal limits, GMS upholds stringent safety standards. Its low moisture and oil absorption values also help maintain product stability and shelf life, safeguarding end users and final products.

Versatile Applications Across Multiple Industries

Thanks to its chemical properties, neutral pH, and excellent solubility in alcohols, GMS finds widespread use in food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Its dual-grade availability-food and industrial-ensures suitability for diverse production requirements.

FAQ's of GMS Chemical:

Q: How should Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) be stored to maintain its quality?

A: GMS should be kept in a cool, dry place, ideally below 25C, and away from direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures its shelf life of up to two years and maintains its physical and chemical properties.

Q: What are the main uses of GMS in industrial and food applications?

A: GMS is primarily used as an emulsifier, thickening agent, and food additive. It improves texture and stability in foods, acts as a processing aid in plastics, and helps stabilize formulations in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Q: When does GMS demonstrate the greatest benefit in production processes?

A: GMS offers significant benefits during the formulation and blending stages, providing superior emulsification, low oil absorption, and uniform particle distribution. This results in smoother, more stable end products.

Q: Where is GMS typically sourced and supplied in India?

A: GMS is distributed, manufactured, and supplied widely across India by authorized suppliers and traders. It is available in HDPE bags or cartons to ensure safe transportation and preservation of quality.

Q: What process is used to ensure GMS meets food safety standards?

A: Each batch of GMS undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, lead content, and particle uniformity. It complies with all food safety regulations, ensuring both food-grade and industrial-grade standards are met.

Q: How does GMS benefit formulators in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries?

A: GMS's consistent granulometry and chemically neutral profile make it a stable, safe ingredient for use as an emulsifying and thickening agent, ensuring desired textures, longevity, and regulatory compliance across diverse product lines.
