Factory Supply Sorbitan Sesquioleate with CAS number 8007 - 43 - 0 is a widely - used chemical product. It is a non - ionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. The chemical formula is complex and is related to the esterification reaction between sorbitan and oleic acid.
This product typically appears as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid. It has a characteristic odor. In terms of physical properties, it has a relatively low melting point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and toluene, while it has limited solubility in water. The specific gravity of Sorbitan Sesquioleate is around 0.98 - 1.02 g/cm³.
The quality of our factory - supplied product meets strict industry standards. We ensure high purity and stability through advanced manufacturing processes. The acid value is usually less than 10 mg KOH/g, and the saponification value ranges from 160 - 175 mg KOH/g.
In the cosmetics industry, Sorbitan Sesquioleate is commonly used as an emulsifier. It can help to combine oil and water phases in cosmetic formulations, such as creams, lotions, and makeup products. This results in a smooth and stable texture of the final product, preventing the separation of oil and water components over time. It also has some moisturizing properties, which can improve the skin - feel of cosmetics.
In the food industry, it serves as an emulsifying agent and a stabilizer. It can be used in the production of margarine, salad dressings, and other oil - in - water or water - in - oil emulsions. By reducing the surface tension between oil and water droplets, it helps to maintain a homogeneous mixture and extend the shelf - life of food products.
In the paint and coating industry, Sorbitan Sesquioleate can be used as a dispersant. It helps to evenly disperse pigments and fillers in the paint matrix, improving the color uniformity and the overall quality of the paint film.
When using Sorbitan Sesquioleate as an emulsifier in cosmetics, first, heat the oil and water phases separately to an appropriate temperature, usually around 70 - 80°C. Then, slowly add the Sorbitan Sesquioleate to the oil phase under stirring. After that, gradually pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously stirring at a high speed. The amount of Sorbitan Sesquioleate added depends on the specific formulation, typically ranging from 1% - 5%.
In the food industry, it can be added directly to the food mixture during the manufacturing process. For example, in the production of salad dressings, it can be added along with other ingredients such as vinegar, oil, and seasonings. The dosage should comply with the relevant food safety regulations, usually within the range allowed by local food authorities.
In the paint and coating industry, it can be added to the paint formulation during the mixing process. It is recommended to add it in the early stage of pigment dispersion to achieve better results. The addition amount is usually 0.5% - 2% of the total paint weight.
A cosmetics company was struggling with the stability of their moisturizing lotion. The lotion tended to separate into oil and water layers after a short period of storage. By adding 3% Sorbitan Sesquioleate to the formulation, they were able to solve the problem. The lotion remained stable for over six months without any visible separation. Consumers also reported a better skin - feel, as the product was smoother and easier to apply.
A food processing company producing margarine found that their product had a tendency to harden and become inhomogeneous during storage. After incorporating Sorbitan Sesquioleate at a dosage of 1.5%, the margarine maintained a soft and uniform texture. This not only improved the product quality but also increased customer satisfaction.
A paint manufacturer was facing issues with pigment agglomeration in their water - based paints, resulting in uneven color distribution. By adding 1% Sorbitan Sesquioleate during the pigment dispersion process, they achieved a significant improvement in pigment dispersion. The paint had a more uniform color, and the overall quality of the paint film was enhanced.
