Glycerol Monooleate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceryl Monooleate
- Glycerol Mono Oleate
- Monoolein
Glycerol monooleate is the monoester of glycerol and oleic acid used in personal-care, food and technical formulation. It is also known as glyceryl oleate, glyceryl monooleate, glycerol mono oleate and monoolein; GMO may appear as an in-copy abbreviation but is not used as the page identity because the letters have other common meanings.
Commercial glycerol monooleate is generally a pale yellow to amber oily liquid or soft paste, with physical form influenced by grade, composition and temperature. Buyers should define the end-use grade and relevant limits such as monoester content, acid value, iodine value and colour without assuming that all glycerol monooleate specifications are identical.
Personal-care formulators use glyceryl oleate as an emulsifier, co-emulsifier, emollient or co-surfactant, while suitable food grades serve monoglyceride emulsifier applications. Technical grades are considered for plastics lubrication, antistatic and antifog systems, metalworking lubricity, dispersant duties and defoamer formulation.
To request a glycerol monooleate quotation, send the application, required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location. Available packing, documentation, route and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Glyceryl Oleate applications
Common questions about glyceryl oleate
Is glycerol monooleate the same as glyceryl oleate?
Glyceryl oleate is the INCI name commonly used for glycerol monooleate. Commercial grades can contain a defined mixture of mono- and diesters, so the monoester content should be checked against the selected specification.
Is glycerol monooleate the same as glycerol monostearate?
No. Glycerol monooleate is the unsaturated oleate ester and is commonly an oily liquid or soft paste, while glycerol monostearate is the saturated stearate product and requires its own grade selection.
Which glycerol monooleate grade should I request?
Choose a personal-care, food or technical grade according to the end use and required documentation. Include monoester content, acid value, iodine value, colour or other limits that matter to the formulation.
What is needed for a glycerol monooleate quotation?
Send the application, grade, specification, quantity, required documents and delivery point. Available packing, delivery timing and quotation validity are then confirmed for the requirement.
