SOL SORBITAN MONOOLEATE - (SPAN 80)

DESCRIPTION

Sorbitan monooleate, also known as Span 80, is a nonionic emulsifier with a low HLB value, making it suitable for stabilizing water in oil systems. It is used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications to support uniform dispersion, improve stability, and maintain consistency during processing and storage. Span 80 is valued for its reliable performance in formulations that require controlled emulsification and long-term stability.
