Overview
Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) Powder is the same chemistry as our GMS flakes (40–45% monoester, melting at 55–65°C), milled to a free-flowing powder. Powder is easier to weigh and feed automatically, and it disperses faster in dry blends, so buyers choose it for PVC compounding, automated food and bakery lines, and premixes where GMS is added as a solid rather than melted. Suraj Chemicals supplies GMS powder from its Chennai stock to manufacturers across India.
