Description

Span 80 (Sorbitan monooleate) is a nonionic, lipophilic surfactant produced by the esterification of sorbitol and sorbitan with oleic acid. It is an amber to brown viscous liquid with an HLB value of approximately 4.3, making it a highly effective water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier and co-emulsifier. It is insoluble in water but dispersible in oils and organic solvents, and is frequently blended with higher-HLB polysorbate emulsifiers to fine-tune emulsion type and stability. Span 80 is used in foods as a W/O emulsifier for margarine, chocolate, and whipped products, in cosmetics for creams, lotions, and makeup removers, and in industrial applications including agrochemical emulsions, textile and leather processing, paints, and lubricants.
