  • Applications

    Glyceryl Monooleate (CAS 111-03-5) is commonly used as an emulsifier and nonionic surfactant, and also serves as a thickener or texture enhancer in cosmetic and personal care formulations. In food applications, it is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer to improve dispersion and texture in oil-in-water systems, and in pharmaceutical formulations it can act as an excipient, solvent, or emulsification aid. In coatings and inks, it functions as an emulsifier and processing aid to improve dispersion and stability. In the polymer and plastics sector, it can act as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve processing behavior and flexibility of compounds or films. It may also be employed in cleaning formulations as a surfactant or detergent additive to enhance wetting and solubility.
