Glycerol Esters
Glycerol Esters are reaction products of Glycerine and fatty acid esters.
These are dispersible in water, soluble in Ethyl Alcohol, Fats and Paraffin Oils. These are non-ionic Emulsifiers with thickening properties.
Glycerol Monostearate is compatible with diluted acids, (like acetic acid, citric acid, latic acid) and with electrolytes (aluminium sulphate, aluminium chloride etc.). Glycerol Monostearate has proved satisfactory in the production of phramaceutical suppository compounds as emulsifiers and thickners in water-in-oil emulsifiers.

Applications:
Glycerol esters are mainly used as consistency regulators and bodifying agents in creams, ointments, liquid emulsions in conjunction with emulsifiers.Glycerol Monostearate is compatible with diluted acids, (like acetic acid, citric acid, latic acid) and with electrolytes (aluminium sulphate, aluminium chloride etc.).
