Description

Glyceryl Monooleate is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from glycerol and oleic acid. This compound is essential for creating stable emulsions and modifying texture in a wide range of industrial and consumer formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and plastics industries seeking reliable performance and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an effective emulsifier, stabilizer, and anti-staling agent in baked goods, margarine, ice cream, and whipped toppings.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickening agent in creams, lotions, makeup, and hair care products for smooth texture and stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in topical ointments, creams, and controlled-release drug delivery systems due to its emulsifying and solubilizing properties.
• Plastics & Polymers: Functions as an internal lubricant and anti-static agent in PVC processing and other polymer formulations.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a lubricant, anti-fogging agent, and mold release agent in various technical and manufacturing processes.
• Animal Feed: Used as an emulsifier and energy source in feed pellets to improve fat absorption and nutritional value.
