Glyceryl - Introduction
GLYCERYL MONORICINOLEATE is a compound formed by the reaction of monorinoleic acid with glycerol. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a high viscosity.
GLYCERYL MONORICINOLEATE is widely used in industry and pharmacy. In industry, it can be used as a lubricant, thickener and emulsifier, and is commonly used in the automotive industry, paper and textile industries. In the pharmaceutical field, GLYCERYL monoricinolate is used as a coating agent for capsules and as a solvent for injection.
There are two main methods for preparing GLYCERYL monoricinolate. One is made by reacting mono-ricinoleic acid with glycerol under the action of a catalyst. The other is GLYCERYL MONORICINOLEATE obtained by esterifying mono-ricinoleic acid with glycerol.
About the security information of GLYCERYL monoricinolate, it is generally considered to be safe. However, as a chemical, be sure to follow proper use and storage methods. In case of any accident, stop using it immediately and consult a professional. At the same time, complete safety data and MSDS sheets are available through suppliers or manufacturers.
