Product Overview:

Sorbitan Tristearate (STS), also known by its trade name Span 65, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) esterified with stearic acid. It is widely used in various industrial and food applications, especially as an emulsifying agent in the formulation of creams, lotions, and other emulsions. Span 65 is known for its ability to create stable emulsions between oil and water, and it can also improve the texture and stability of products.

 

Key Features:

• Emulsifier: Span 65 is an effective emulsifying agent, helping to blend oil and water in formulations.
• Non-Ionic Surfactant: As a non-ionic surfactant, it has low foaming properties, making it suitable for use in products where foam is undesirable.
• High Stability: Provides high stability to emulsions, even under varying temperature conditions, which is beneficial for products requiring extended shelf life.
• Versatile: It is widely used in various formulations across the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.
• Fatty Acid Composition: The stearate component (derived from stearic acid) helps to impart smooth texture and improve viscosity in emulsions.

 

Applications:

1. Food Industry:
   • Emulsifier in Food Products: Used in margarine, spreads, and low-fat or fat-reduced products to maintain a consistent texture and prevent oil separation.
   • Baked Goods: Added to improve the texture and volume of cakes, pastries, and other baked items.
   • Ice Cream & Dairy Products: Used to enhance the smooth texture of ice cream, sorbets, and other dairy-based products, providing creaminess and preventing crystallization.
   • Processed Foods: Improves the texture and consistency of ready-to-eat meals and convenience foods.
2. Cosmetics and Personal Care:
   • Creams and Lotions: Used as an emulsifier in creams, lotions, and moisturizers to combine oil and water-based ingredients, ensuring smooth application and improved stability.
   • Shampoos and Conditioners: Provides conditioning properties and enhances the texture of hair care products.
   • Makeup Products: Incorporated in the formulation of foundations, mascaras, and other cosmetic products to help maintain consistency and stability.
3. Pharmaceuticals:
   • Ointments and Creams: Functions as an emulsifying agent in pharmaceutical ointments and creams, ensuring uniform distribution of active ingredients.
   • Oral Suspensions: Used to improve the stability and viscosity of liquid formulations such as oral suspensions and syrups.
4. Industrial Applications:
   • Paints and Coatings: Span 65 is used in industrial paints and coatings to ensure smooth application and reduce surface tension.
   • Lubricants: Incorporated in lubricants and greases to improve stability and performance.
5. Agriculture:
   • Pesticide Formulations: Span 65 is utilized in agricultural formulations, particularly in pesticide emulsions, where it helps create stable emulsions between oil-based and water-based ingredients.
