Glyceryl monostearate Application
It is one of the most widely used additives and emulsifiers in the oleochemical and daily-use chemical industries with the largest dosage. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value (HLB value for short) is 3.6-4.2, and it is oil-soluble. In addition to emulsification, it also has the functions of defoaming, antiaging and fat coagulation control, and is a typical nonionic surfactant.
1. It can be used as emulsifier, stabilizer, defoamer, etc. in the food industry.
2.It can be used as lubricant, antistatic agent, anti-fogging agent in plastic industry.
3.It is used as lubricant in cosmetics.
4.It can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as emulsifier in ointment products.
