Sorbitan Esters

sobitan esters are nonionic lipophilic surfactants that are commonly used as water-in-oil(w/o) emusifiers and stabliers.Sorbitan fatt acid esters areproduced by esterification of dehydrated sorbitol (sorbitan) with a variety ofatt acids.Ssorbitol is a sugar alcohol that can be obtained by the reduction ofglucose or derived from comn, potatoes etc. The fatty acids commonly used to synthesize sorbitan esters include lauric acid, palmtic acid stearic acid, andoleic acid.

sobitan esters used as non ionic surfactants are efective forvarious ftunctions. our range of surfactants is used in a variety of settings, for example, as anemulsifer in food, a stabilier in a cosmetic cream formulation, or a cosolvent and antrust agentfor petoleum and oil These surfactants are sourced fromvegetables and vegan friendly. They are safe and nontoxic as food additives when used according to regulations.

our range of sorbitan esters has a hydropili-ipopili balance(HLE) between 1.6-86, which make them dissolvable in polar organic solvents and ois whenused in combincation with varying proportions of ethoxylated sorbitan esters (polysorbata) that have an HlB range between10.0-167 it creates more versatlfsurfactants; which can produce w/o or oi-in-water(o/w) emulsions with varying levels of consistencies,expanding the possible pplication
