Sorbitan Monooleate

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.
