Description

Glycerinmonoester (Fettsurerest Unverzweigt Mit C-Zahl 8 Und Endstndiger Carboxylgruppe)11 is a defined monoacylglycerol, specifically a glycerol monoester of a straight-chain C8 fatty acid with a terminal carboxyl group, CAS NO 62927-08-6. This compound serves as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, prized for its ability to stabilize formulations and modify interfacial properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, high-purity ingredients for emulsion-based products.

Application

• Food Emulsifier & Stabilizer: Used in baked goods, dairy products, and margarines to improve texture, volume, and shelf life.
• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a co-emulsifier and opacifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products for a smooth, stable texture.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed as a solubilizer and emulsifying agent in topical ointments, creams, and oral suspensions.
• Industrial Lubricant & Plasticizer: Functions as a bio-based lubricant additive and a plasticizer for certain polymers and resins.
• Antistatic Agent: Used in the production of plastics and packaging materials to reduce static charge buildup.
• Intermediate for Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for synthesizing more complex esters, surfactants, and specialty chemicals.
