Description

Sorbeth-60 Tetraoleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from ethoxylated sorbitol and oleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing and stabilizing properties in complex formulations, particularly where oil-in-water emulsions are required. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation compatibility.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and solubilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Key ingredient in hair care formulations such as conditioners and styling products for enhanced texture and manageability.
• Used in the formulation of industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids as an emulsifying agent.
• Functions as a co-emulsifier and stabilizer in pharmaceutical ointments and topical delivery systems.
• Employed in agricultural adjuvants to improve the spreading and adherence of pesticides and herbicides.
• Acts as a dispersing agent for pigments and additives in various specialty chemical preparations.
