    Glycerol Monooleate GMO CAS 111-03-5

    Glycerol Monooleate, chemically defined as the mono-ester of glycerol and oleic acid, functions as a non-ionic surfactant and friction modifier in various industrial applications. Often identified in technical formulations as Glyceryl monooleate, Monoolein, or 1-Monooleoyl-rac-glycerol, this waxy or liquid compound serves as an internal lubricant in polymer processing, an anti-fogging agent in plastic films, and a stabilizer in industrial emulsions. We offer bulk supply of this versatile additive with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications for specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) requirements, and necessary regulatory documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA.

    Product Overview

    Glyceryl Monooleate (GMO) is supplied for industrial and formulation use as a functional additive with emulsifying, lubricating and auxiliary processing value. Based on its product identity and application profile, this material is better positioned as a functional additive / specialty chemical rather than a terminal consumer ingredient.

    It is commonly applied in systems requiring water-in-oil emulsification behavior, internal lubrication, antistatic support or improved dispersion performance. Depending on grade, temperature and handling conditions, the product may appear as a light yellow to amber liquid, semi-solid or softened mass.

    For industrial evaluation, packaging, appearance and documentation should be confirmed according to the supplied grade and intended use.

    • 50 kg plastic drum

    Packaging information may vary according to grade, handling requirements and shipment arrangement.

    Storage Conditions

    • Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
    • Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
    • Protect from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture exposure.
    • Avoid contact with strong oxidizing substances.
    • Shelf life should be confirmed according to the supplied grade and actual storage conditions.

    Safety Precautions

    • Use standard chemical handling practice during transfer and production operation.
    • Avoid direct contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure.
    • Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and protective clothing as required by the operating environment.
    • In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
    • Refer to the current SDS for complete handling, first-aid and transport information.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Are Glycerol Monooleate, Glyceryl Monooleate, and Monoolein the same substance under one CAS number?

      A: Yes. These names refer to the same chemical substance and correspond to a single CAS number, indicating the same molecular identity.
    • Q:

      Is Glycerol Monooleate used as an industrial emulsifier ingredient rather than for laboratory-only use?

      A: Glycerol Monooleate is typically applied as an industrial ingredient in emulsifier formulations and is supplied for formulation and processing use in industrial systems.
