Glycerin monostearate is pale yellow waxy solid or powder, insoluble in water and soluble in grease, paraffin, alcohol, chloroform, acetone and diethyl ether. HLB is 3.6-4.2. It is one of the most widely used and the largest consumed additive and emulsifier in oleochemical and daily chemical. It is also a typical nonionic surfactant with the properties of not only emulsifying but also defoaming, anti-oxidant and anti-freezing.
