Description

Sorbitan, Ditetradecanoate is a non-ionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and myristic acid, functioning as a versatile emulsifier and solubilizer. Its value lies in its ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and enhance the compatibility of diverse ingredients in complex formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, high-purity excipients.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Key ingredient in pharmaceutical topical preparations for drug delivery enhancement.
• Used as a dispersing agent in industrial applications and agrochemical formulations.
• Functions as a solubilizer for fragrances and essential oils in personal care products.
• Employed in the production of food-grade emulsifiers (where specific purity grades are met).
• Acts as a lubricant and anti-static agent in textile and plastic processing.
