Description
Glyceryl monostearate is a pure laboratory reagent with CAS number 31566-31-1 and empirical formula C₂₁H₄₂O₄. It has a molar mass of 358,57 g/mol and a density of 0,92 to 0,96 g/cm³, together with a flash point of 240 °C. Offered in a practical 500 g plastic pack, this monoglyceride supports formulation work, emulsifier studies and related chemical applications where a defined monostearate identity is required. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for routine research, process development and general laboratory use. Documented physicochemical parameters help maintain batch-to-batch consistency in organic, lipid and surfactant workflows. Laboratories employ glyceryl monostearate in excipient-related investigations, synthetic chemistry and analytical preparation steps that benefit from clear molar mass and density data. The pure grade and convenient pack size make it a straightforward choice for controlled supply in chemical and life-science environments needing reliable monostearate material.

Questions about Glyceryl monostearate, pure, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Glyceryl monostearate, pure, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
