Sorbitan Mono Oleate (High Oleic Grade) SMO HI-ESTOSPAN 80 HI

Overview

ESTOSPAN 80 HI is a premium-grade Sorbitan Mono Oleate (SMO), meticulously engineered by CanCastor to offer superior performance for a diverse range of industrial applications. Distinguished by its high oleic acid content, this non-ionic, lipophilic surfactant is an exceptionally effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent. Its unique chemical structure, derived from sorbitol and high oleic acid, provides enhanced oxidative stability and superior emulsifying properties, making it an indispensable component in formulations requiring robust and lasting stability. ESTOSPAN 80 HI is particularly adept at stabilizing both oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, making it a versatile choice for formulators seeking reliability and performance in their products across various sectors.

Key Properties

ESTOSPAN 80 HI stands out due to its unique combination of properties, directly attributed to its high oleic content and careful manufacturing process:

• Exceptional Oxidative Stability: The high oleic acid content significantly enhances the product's resistance to oxidation, contributing to a longer shelf-life for both the raw material and finished formulations. This leads to greater product integrity and reduced degradation over time.
• Superior Emulsification Power: ESTOSPAN 80 HI excels in forming and stabilizing robust and homogeneous emulsions. It is particularly effective in systems with high oil phases, preventing separation and maintaining consistency.
• Optimized Lipophilicity (HLB ~4.3): Its low Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) value makes it an ideal choice for stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions and as a primary or co-emulsifier in complex O/W systems, especially when combined with hydrophilic surfactants.
• Effective Dispersing Agent: Beyond emulsification, it acts as an excellent dispersant, helping to evenly distribute solid particles within liquid matrices, crucial for pigment dispersions and agricultural formulations.
• Enhanced Wetting Characteristics: Improves the spreading and penetration of liquids on various surfaces, enhancing performance in applications like agrochemicals and surface coatings.
• Low Viscosity: Its inherent low viscosity facilitates easier handling, pumping, and incorporation into formulations, streamlining manufacturing processes.
• Biodegradable Profile: Aligns with modern environmental standards, offering a more sustainable option for various industries.
• Mild and Non-Irritating: Suitable for sensitive applications, including personal care and certain pharmaceutical formulations.

Applications

The versatility and performance of ESTOSPAN 80 HI make it a preferred choice across a broad spectrum of industries:

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as an emulsifier in a wide array of products such as baked goods (improving crumb structure, softness, and extending shelf-life), confectionery, dairy alternatives, margarines, and fat spreads. It helps prevent oil separation and maintains product consistency.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: An essential component in lotions, creams, sunscreens, makeup, and hair care products. It functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and moisturizer, contributing to smooth textures, enhanced sensory feel, and improved product efficacy.
• Pharmaceuticals: Utilized as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and wetting agent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in topical creams, ointments, and oral suspensions, aiding in drug delivery and formulation stability.
• Industrial Applications: Finds use in the formulation of lubricants, metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries, and coatings as an emulsifier, dispersant, and anti-foaming agent, improving process efficiency and product performance.
• Agrochemicals: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide formulations, ensuring the stable dispersion of active ingredients and enhancing their efficacy through better spreading and penetration.
• Polymer Industry: Functions as an internal lubricant and processing aid in polymer manufacturing, improving material flow and finished product properties.
