Description

Glyceryl monostearate is an organic compound with the formula C21H42O4 and an average molecular weight of 358.56 g/mol. GLYCERYL MONOSTEARATE belongs to the monoradylglycerols, a subclass of glycerolipids within the organic compounds. This substance is further classified under the superclass of lipids and lipid-like molecules. In industrial applications, glyceryl monostearate serves a wide variety of roles and uses. It functions as an emulsifier, surfactant, thickening agent, and stabilizing agent. Additionally, it is employed as a softener and conditioner, an anti-static agent, and an anti-adhesive/cohesive agent. It also serves as a lubricating agent, a flavouring and nutrient, and as processing aids not otherwise specified. Regarding its interaction with plastics, glyceryl monostearate is used in several materials, including polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, and low-density polyethylene. Furthermore, it is released in polyamide.
