Emulsification Solutions: Span and Tween Surfactants for Superior Formulation Stability
In the competitive landscape of B2B chemical supply, effective emulsification is pivotal for creating stable oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) systems across food, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Our Span (sorbitan esters) and Tween (polysorbates) series deliver unmatched performance, leveraging the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) system to optimize emulsion integrity, shelf life, and sensory attributes.
Technical Insights and Applications
Derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, Span surfactants exhibit low HLB values (e.g., Span 80: HLB 4.3 for W/O emulsions and wetting) while Tween variants offer high HLB (e.g., Tween 80: HLB 15.0 for O/W stabilization and solubilization). Blends calculated via HLB_blend = (Wa × HLBa) + (Wb × HLBb) enhance interfacial films, preventing coalescence in formulations like ice cream (Tween 80 for overrun control) and lotions (Tween 20 for essential oil dispersion).
Food & Beverage: E432-E436 compliant; stabilizes dressings, improves bakery texture (Span 60 as dough conditioner).
Cosméticos: Non-comedogenic; enables clear oil cleansers and vegan-friendly emulsions.
Industrial: REACH-registered; aids pesticide and coating dispersion with low CMC for efficiency.
All products meet FDA, EU, RSPO, and Kosher/Halal standards, ensuring regulatory compliance and sustainability.
