Span 85 Emulsifier

Span 85 emulsifier chemically known as Sorbitan Oleate, is a low-HLB, oil-
soluble nonionic surfactant designed for stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
It is widely used as a co-emulsifier and emulsion promoter in emulsion
explosives, with additional applications in pesticide formulations and
industrial cosmetics. Span 85 ensures high emulsion stability, uniform droplet
distribution, and enhanced formulation performance, making it a trusted choice
for demanding industrial processes.
