Glycerin distearate CAS 1323-83-7
Glycerol Monostearate, usually referring to glycerol monostearate, is a fatty acid glyceride formed by the esterification reaction of glycerol (glycerol) and stearic acid (octadecanoic acid). It is a common nonionic surfactant, featuring both lipophilicity and hydrophilicity, and is widely used in fields such as food, cosmetics, medicine, and industry.

1. Food Industry: Safe emulsifiers and stabilizers
Baking and dairy products
Emulsifier
In baked goods such as cakes, bread and biscuits, GDS can adsorb at the interface between oil and water, forming a stable emulsified system to prevent oil and water from stratifying. At the same time, it improves the extensibility and water retention of the dough, and extends the shelf life.
It is used in cream cream and non-dairy creamer (milk powder) to enhance the stability of emulsions and endow them with a delicate texture.
Anti-sticking agents and lubricants:
As a coating or inner additive for candies (such as chocolate and gummy candies), it reduces the adhesion between the sugar body and the equipment, facilitating shaping and packaging, while enhancing the gloss.
2. Daily Chemicals and Personal Care: Multi-functional Skin feel Regulators
Skin care and makeup
Emulsifier
In lotions and face creams, GDS is compounded with other emulsifiers (such as stearic acid and cetaceol) to form stable oil-in-water (O/W) or oil-in-water (W/O) systems, which are particularly suitable for preparing high-oil content moisturizing products (such as anti-wrinkle creams and hand creams).
Thickeners and softeners:
Increase the consistency of the paste, improve the application feel, and reduce the sticky sensation; It is used as a powder binder in cosmetics (such as powder compacts and eye shadows) to enhance the compaction and extensibility of the powder.
3. Plastic and Rubber Industry: Multi-functional processing AIDS
Plastic processing AIDS
Lubricants and mold release agents
In the processing of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP), GDS reduces the friction between the resin and the equipment, prevents the melt from adhering to the screw or mold, and improves processing efficiency (such as in blown film and injection molding processes).
Dispersants and antistatic agents:
Help pigments and fillers (such as calcium carbonate and carbon black) be uniformly dispersed in the plastic matrix to prevent agglomeration; At the same time, it reduces the accumulation of static electricity on the surface of the product and prevents dust from adhering.
