Non Ionic Surfactant - Sorbitan Ester & Polysorbate Manufacturer

Sorbitan Esters & Polysorbates

Sorbitan esters and Polysorbates as nonionics offer many advantages over ionic surfactants including increase stability, enhance flexibility and provide wider compatibility. They are stable in mild acids, alkalis and electrolytes and do not react with ionic ingredients or actives. They are used as emulsifiers, foamers, defoamers, dispersants, lubricants, solubilizers, stabilizers, viscosifiers, diluents, wetting agents etc.

Sorbitan Esters

Sorbitan esters are nonionic surfactants that can be mixed with polysorbates in varying proportions to produce emulsions with a variety of textures and consistencies. They can dissolve in a variety of organic solvents as well as hot oil to create water in oil (W/O) emulsions. They are non-toxic and biodegradable, which can be used in foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles industry, and so on.

Polysorbates

Polysorbates (also known as Ethoxylated Sorbitan Esters) are formed by condensation of residual hydroxyl groups in sorbitan ester molecules with ethylene oxide. During the process of polyoxyethylene, transesterification occurs, and the ester groups formerly directly attached to sorbitan can be rearranged to the hydroxyl terminus of the oxyethylene chain. They are suitable for use as oil in water (O/W) emulsifiers, solvents, dispersants, stabilizers, antistatic agents, lubricants, and detergents.

Sorbitan Ester & Polysorbate Functions

Dispersants
Dispersants can reduce the concentration of solid or liquid particles in the dispersion system. Adding dispersants and suspensions in the preparation of emulsified oil and wettable powder is easy to form the dispersion and suspension and maintain the relatively stable function of the dispersion system.

Sorbitan Ester & Polysorbate Functions

Are You Searching For These?

Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are an indispensable part to promote the stability of emulsion and play an important role in the stability of emulsion. In order to form a stable emulsion and disperse the dispersed phase into very small droplets, the use and selection of emulsifiers are also important.

Stabilizers
Auxiliaries added to improve the chemical and physical stability of products and substances are called stabilizers, such as heat stabilizers added for the purpose of improving the thermal stability of polymers;To provide emulsion stabilizers for emulsion stability;Foam stabilizer for detergent, etc.
