| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Fine, white to yellowish-white powder; faint characteristic odor. Insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether. Forms a gel with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. | [Uses]
Paints, inks, greases, waxes, thickening lubricating oils; waterproofing, gloss producer, stabilizer for plastics, food additive. | [Definition]
A complex containing aluminum and dextran, a chain of molecular weight 2500, corresponding to a chain of 15 anhydroglucose units. | [Production Methods]
Aluminum monostearate is prepared by reacting aluminum with
stearic acid. | [Pharmaceutical Applications]
Aluminum monostearate is mainly used in microencapsulation
and in the manufacture of ointments. Aluminum monostearate is
used as a viscosity-increasing agent in nonaqueous cosmetic and
pharmaceutical formulations. In addition, aluminum monostearate
can be used as an emulsion stabilizer in cosmetic emulsions and is
used in cosmetics such as mascara, moisturizers, and sunscreens. | [Safety]
Aluminum monostearate is generally regarded as relatively nontoxic
and nonirritant when used as an excipient. | [storage]
Aluminum monostearate should be stored in a well-closed container
in a cool, dry, place. It is stable under ordinary conditions of use and
storage. | [Regulatory Status]
Aluminum monostearate and aluminum stearate are included in the
FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral capsules and tablets,
topical creams and ointments). Included in nonparenteral medicines
licensed in the UK. |
