Description

Sorbitan, Monoacetate CAS NO 93963-96-3 is a versatile non-ionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and acetic acid, functioning as a highly effective emulsifier and solubilizer. Its primary value lies in its ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and enhance the compatibility of diverse ingredients within a formulation. This makes it an essential component for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking reliable and multifunctional additives.

Application

• As a key emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments for stable texture and feel.
• Used in topical pharmaceutical preparations to solubilize active ingredients and improve product consistency.
• Functions as a dispersing agent in industrial applications, including coatings, textiles, and agrochemical formulations.
• Acts as a co-emulsifier and stabilizer in food-grade applications, subject to specific purity compliance.
• Employed in the synthesis of other sorbitan ester derivatives for specialized surfactant properties.
• Serves as a lubricant and anti-static agent in various plastic and polymer processing operations.
