Span™ 60

Chemical Description

Sorbitan Stearate

Product Description

Our Span range of sorbitan esters are widely used as W/O emulsifiers and when used in combination with ethoxylated sorbitan esters (the Tween range) they contribute to the overall stability of O/W emulsions. Manipulation of the Span/Tween ratio produces emulsifying systems of various HLB values, allowing the emulsification of a wide range of oils and waxes. Span 60 produces stable O/W emulsions with pleasant aesthetics when combined with Tween 60. It has a low odour, pale colour and is mild on the skin. Span 60 is recommended for the emulsification of fatty alcohols, esters, mineral and silicone oils. Recommended topical usage levels of 0.5-5%.

High Purity Spans and Tweens

Spans and Tweens are extremely mild, but very powerful multi-functional nonionic surfactants. SPAN HP is a range of sorbitan fatty acid esters while TWEEN HP is a range of polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (polysorbates). Both ranges can be used in a multitude of pharmaceutical applications particularly when additional purity is needed from your excipients.
