Description

Sorbitan, Octadecanoate (2:3) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and stearic acid. This compound is valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions and modify the texture and consistency of various formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, high-quality products.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and stabilizer in food products like baked goods, whipped toppings, and dairy analogs.
• As a co-emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, including creams, lotions, and makeup.
• As an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations for emulsion-based drug delivery systems.
• As a dispersing agent and processing aid in industrial applications, such as coatings, textiles, and agrochemicals.
• As an additive in animal feed to improve pellet binding and nutrient dispersion.
