Sorbitan monooleate is an extremely mild but very powerful nonionic emulsifier.
Sorbitan monooleate is part of a broad range of ester materials including sorbitan esters, mono and diglycerides, and polyoxyethylene sorbitol esters.
These nonionic surfactants can function as emulsifiers, detergents, spreading or dispersing agents.
Sorbitan monooleate finds wide use in the personal care industry.
Sorbitan monooleate, also known as sorbitan oleate/SMO, is synthesized by the esterification of sorbitan with oleic acid.
It has a molecular formula of C24H44O6.
At room temperature, it is in the form of amber to brown thick oily liquid.
Sorbitan monooleate is a W/O emulsifier with an sorbitan monooleate HLB value of 4.3.
Our sorbitan monooleate is one of the most popular surfactants as it has various functions in the formulations of food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, metal processing, etc.
Sorbitan monooleate is commonly used in combination with polysorbate 80.
Water-insoluble non-ionic surfactants like Sorbitan Monooleate are made by esterifying partial sorbitol anhydrides with digestible fatty acids.
General manufacturing of Span-type materials consists of partial esters of common fatty acids (lauric, palmitic, stearic and oleic) and hexitol anhydrides (lexitans and hexides) derived from sorbitol.
Sorbitan Monooleate is a non-ionic surfactant used as an emulsifying agent for the preparation of Water-in-Oil emulsions (HLB 4.3). [2,4] It is added in small quantities to many foods, beverages, and cosmetics
Sorbitan Monooleate is a surface-active agent that modifies the interfacial tension of water due to its polar head group, and long lipophilic hydrocarbon tail.
The hydrophilic character of Sorbitan Monooleate is due to the free hydroxyl and oxyethylene groups, while the liphophilic portion is found in the long chain fatty acid.

Chemical Description
Sorbitan Oleate
Product Description
Our Sorbitan esters are widely used as W/O emulsifiers and when used in combination with ethoxylated sorbitan esters they contribute to the overall stability of O/W emulsions.
Manipulation of the Sorbitan Oleate/ethoxylated sorbitan ester ratio produces emulsifying systems of various HLB values, allowing the emulsification of a wide range of oils and waxes.
Sorbitan Oleate is a liquid W/O emulsifier and O/W emulsion stabiliser particularly recommended for use with unsaturated lipid components such as oleyl alcohol or vegetable oils.
Extensively used as a wetting agent and dispersant for materials such as zinc oxide, calamine and penicillin in lipophilic pharmaceutical bases.
Recommended topical usage levels of 0.5-5%.
Span 80 is a biodegradable surfactant based on a natural fatty acid (oleic acid) and sugar alcohol sorbitol.
This sorbitan ester is highly effective at forming oil in water emulsions, particularly when used with its ethoxylated derivative, Tween 80.
