Product Description

Product Description

 

1. **Food Industry* - Glyceryl monostearate is widely used as an emulsifier in the food industry. It helps to prevent the separation of oil and water - based components in food products. For example, in the production of ice - cream, it inhibits the formation of ice crystals and makes the texture of ice - cream more creamy and smooth. In bakery products like bread, it improves the dough's processing properties, enhances the dough's toughness and extensibility, and also has a preservative effect to some extent, prolonging the shelf - life of bread.

2. **Cosmetics Industry** - In the cosmetics field, glyceryl monostearate serves as an emulsifier that facilitates the better mixing of oil - phase and water - phase components. It also has a moisturizing effect on the skin, enabling cosmetics to be more evenly spread on the skin. For instance, in lotions and creams, it helps to create a stable emulsion structure, ensuring that the product remains well - mixed during storage and application.

3. **Pharmaceutical Industry** - It is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations. As a lubricant in tablet production, it helps tablets to be easily released from the mould during manufacturing and makes them easier to swallow. Moreover, its emulsifying property can also be utilized in some drug formulations to improve the solubility and bioavailability of certain drugs.

4. **Plastic and Rubber Industry** - Glyceryl monostearate can act as a lubricant and release agent in the production of plastics and rubbers. It reduces the friction between the polymer and the processing equipment, improving the surface quality of the final products and facilitating the demoulding process. This helps to increase the production efficiency and the quality of plastic and rubber products.

5. **Textile Industry* - In textile processing, it can be used as a softening agent and antistatic agent. The hydrophobic part of glyceryl monostearate can attach to the fiber surface, while the hydrophilic part can reduce static electricity generation. This makes the textile fibers softer and more comfortable to the touch, and also reduces the problem of static cling.
