sorbitan ester
sorbitan ester is a chemical additive used in food, medicine, cosmetics and oil field drilling fields. It has a wide range of uses. It is mainly used as an emulsifier and surfactant. Its solubility is also particularly strong. It is also used as a stabilizer in many different fields. Currently, such emulsifiers are needed in the food industry, such as margarine, chocolate, and cream for milk-based baked goods. They help stabilize the emulsion and increase its shelf life.
Industrial applications such as textiles and metal processing require the use of chemicals with dispersing capabilities.
In the pharmaceutical field, it can also be used as a chemical with relatively good solubility, which can improve the utilization of various drugs.
Currently, Sanlitangcheng has stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. Its emulsifying performance is particularly outstanding, and its solubility is also particularly good. It can be used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient with good solubility in medicines. Its stability is extremely outstanding, especially if your product has requirements for temperature fluctuations, pH values, etc., it will show special stability.

sorbitan ester
Sorbitan monostearate is an ester of sorbitan (a sorbitol derivative) and stearic acid and is sometimes referred to as a synthetic wax. It is primarily used as an emulsifier to keep water and oils mixed. Sorbitan monostearate is used in the manufacture of food and healthcare products, and is a non-ionic surfactant with emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties.
It is also employed to create synthetic fibers, metal machining fluid, brighteners in the leather industry, as an emulsifier in coatings, in pesticides, and in various applications in the plastics, food and cosmetics industries.
