Description :

Overview of Sorbitan Monopalmitate

Sorbitan Monopalmitate (CAS NO- 26266-57-9), commonly known as Span 40, is a non-ionic, lipophilic surfactant derived from the esterification of sorbitol with palmitic acid. Known for its excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties, it is a preferred ingredient in formulations requiring stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.

At Chemical Bull, we provide commercial-grade Sorbitan Monopalmitate that meets rigorous international quality standards. Whether you are formulating stable skincare emulsions, food-grade coatings, or specialized industrial lubricants, our product ensures batch-to-batch consistency and high structural integrity for your final formulation.

Applications of Sorbitan Monopalmitate

• Food & Confectionery: Used as an effective food-grade emulsifier (E495) to improve texture and shelf-life in bakery products and shortenings. It pairs efficiently with Glyceryl Monostearate to optimize fat distribution.
  
  

• Personal Care: Functions as a critical stabilizer in lotions, creams, and cosmetic foundations. It provides a luxurious, non-tacky feel and is often sourced alongside Cetyl Alcohol for superior moisture retention.
  
  

• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an emulsifier and solubilizing agent in various topical drug delivery systems and ointments. Often procured with our high-purity Propylene Glycol to enhance active ingredient dispersion.
  
  

• Textile & Industrial: Acts as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber finishing, ensuring better processability. Works in tandem with Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) to provide uniform treatment.
  
  

• Agrochemicals: Utilized as a surfactant in pesticide formulations to improve wetting and adhesion. Pairs effectively with our Specialty Surfactants for optimized coverage.
  
  

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly closed and protected from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat to maintain the physical integrity of the product.
  
  

• Safety: This product is generally recognized as safe for food and cosmetic use. However, use standard laboratory PPE when handling bulk quantities to avoid skin or eye irritation.
  
  

• Precaution: Ensure the material is fully dispersed or melted (as per process requirements) in the oil phase before mixing with the water phase to achieve a stable emulsion.
  
  

• Regulation: Supplied in strict compliance with international food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade safety standards.
