3.Application Scope and Usage
GMO serves as a versatile emulsifier and conditioner in cosmetic emulsions, creams, lotions and shampoos, imparting viscosity control, opacity and foam suppression. In textiles it acts as a softening and antistatic finishing agent; in plastics it functions as an internal antistat for PE, PP and PVC at 0.5–2.0 %. Additionally, it is employed as a pigment-grinding aid and lubricant in coatings and inks.
