About polysorbate 65
Name: Sorbitan tristearate
CAS Registry Number: 26658-19-5
Sorbitan tristearate, also known as Span 65, is a nonionic surfactant. It is variously used as a dispersing agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, in food and in aerosol sprays. As a food additive, it has the E number E492.
The consistency of sorbitan tristearate is waxy; its color is light cream to tan
Versatile ApplicationsPolysorbate 65 serves as an efficient emulsifier, dispersant, and stabilizer in a wide range of formulations. Industries such as food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals rely on its ability to maintain product consistency and improve solubility of ingredients, ensuring high-quality end products.
Reliable Packaging and StorageSupplied in 50 kg HDPE drums, Polysorbate 65 is protected from environmental factors during storage and transport. The robust packaging helps safeguard product quality and extends its shelf life to up to two years, when stored under recommended conditions.
FAQs of polysorbate 65:
Q: How is Polysorbate 65 typically used in industrial applications?
A: Polysorbate 65 is primarily employed as an emulsifier, dispersant, and stabilizer in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Its ability to maintain uniform mixtures and prevent separation of ingredients ensures consistent product performance.
Q: What is the recommended process for incorporating Polysorbate 65 into formulations?
A: To achieve optimal results, Polysorbate 65 should be added gradually to a water-based phase while stirring. It dissolves readily in water, allowing for even distribution and effective emulsification within the formulation.
Q: When should I use Polysorbate 65 over other emulsifiers?
A: Polysorbate 65 is recommended when a high-purity, industrial-grade emulsifier with excellent water solubility and stabilizing properties is required, especially for formulations containing fats or oils that must remain uniformly mixed.
Q: Where is Polysorbate 65 sourced and manufactured?
A: Our Polysorbate 65 is manufactured and exported from China by a reputable supplier, ensuring high standards of quality and consistent availability for global clients.
Q: What benefits does Polysorbate 65 offer in product formulations?
A: The main benefits include improved stability, enhanced solubility for otherwise insoluble compounds, reliable emulsification, and greater shelf stability for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products.
Q: Can Polysorbate 65 maintain its shelf life under standard storage conditions?
A: Yes, when stored in its original, sealed 50 kg HDPE drum away from heat and direct sunlight, Polysorbate 65 maintains its integrity and characteristic properties for up to two years.
