Product Usage
Sorbitan fatty acid esters (trade name "Sapan"), as nonionic surfactants, play a key role in many fields due to their excellent emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing and solubilizing functions: In the pharmaceutical field, it is used as a pharmaceutical excipient in preparations such as ointments and oral emulsions. In the industrial field, it is applied in textile production to enhance the processing performance and final quality of products. Moreover, different uses require corresponding standards such as food grade, pharmaceutical grade, and industrial grade to ensure safety and applicability.
