Glyceryl monostearate

Glyceryl monostearate (monoglyceride for short) is the most widely used additive and emulsifier in the oleochemical and daily-use chemical industries. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value (abbreviated as HLB value) is 3.6-4.2, which is oil-soluble. In addition to emulsification, it also has the functions of sinking, sinking, anti-aging and controlling fatty acid aggregation. It is a typical non-ionic type Surfactant.
    Monoglycerides are slightly yellow wax-like solids, used as emulsifiers and surfactants in food or cosmetics, and as lubricants for transparent polyvinyl chloride pellets. The product is insoluble in water, but soluble in oil, paraffin, ethanol, chloroform, acetone and ether when heated.

    This product is mainly used in the following industries:
    ① Food and candy additives: used as emulsifiers to add chocolate, margarine, ice cream, etc. or used as surfactants, and can also be used in noodle products and soy milk products. Adding 01~0.3% to bread can improve preservation, increase softness and volume, improve the structure of bread, and prevent bread aging; add 0.2~0.5% to chocolate products to prevent sugar crystallization and oil-water separation, and increase fineness Feel; 5~15% of the base is added to the bubble gum, and the toffee is based on the fat. Adding 5~10% can prevent oil separation, increase luster and prevent sticking teeth when eating; add 0.3~0.5% to margarine or lecithin 0.1~0.3% used together can prevent oil-water separation; adding about 0.8% to cans can prevent oil-water separation.
    ②In cosmetics: it is the raw material of skin care agent balsam, cold cream, hair cream, shampoo, etc.
    ③The thickener of medicinal ointment is also used as an emulsifier in medicines.
    ④In the plastic industry, it is mainly used as a release agent, plasticizer, and antistatic agent. It is also particularly suitable for plastic foaming products, such as "pearl cotton" as an anti-shrinking agent in the production process. It is an indispensable lubricant in composite lead salt stabilizers. In the production of agricultural greenhouse films, monoglycerides are the main raw materials for dripping agents.
    ⑤ Monoglycerides can also be used as nitrocellulose plasticizer, alkyd resin modifier, latex dispersant and synthetic paraffin compounding agent.
