DESCRIPTION

Ethoxylated Mono- and Diglycerides occur as a pale, slightly yellow-colored, oily liquid or semigel. They are a mixture of stearate, palmitate, and lesser amounts of myristate partial esters of glycerin condensed with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alpha-monoglyceride reaction mixture, having an average molecular weight of 535 (±10%). They are soluble in water, in alcohol, and in xylene. They are partially soluble in mineral oil and in vegetable oils.
