Sorbitan monolaurate
Sorbitan monolaurate is a high-performance non-ionic surfactant and W/O emulsifier derived from renewable lauric acid and sorbitol. It is widely recognized for its ability to stabilize complex emulsions in Personal Care and Food & Nutrition sectors.
This amber-colored viscous liquid features a mid-range HLB value of 8.6, making it an effective wetting agent and dispersing agent. Its chemical stability ensures consistent performance in both Technical Grade and Food Grade (E493) applications.
The product offers excellent biodegradability and low toxicity, serving as a critical solubilizer and anti-fogging agent. It is essential for enhancing the texture and shelf-life of industrial formulations and Cosmetic Raw Materials.
