| Span 60 Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Liquid |
| Chemical Properties | Sorbitan monostearate has a bland odor and taste. It is a mixture of partial stearic and palmitic acid esters of sorbitol and its mono- and dianhydrides. For additional details of description, refer to Burdock (1997). |
| Uses | Glycomul(R) L is a sorbitan ester used for emulsification. |
| Uses | Glycomul(R) S KFG is used as emulsifier for baked goods, icings & filings and whipped toppings. It is also used as a rehydration aid (production of active dry yeast) and as synthetic flavoring substances and adjuvants. Product Data Sheet |
| Uses | Lonzest(R) SMS is used as a pigment dispersion additive for PP color concentrates and as an antistatic agent for PVC. |
| Uses | sorbitan stearate is an emulsifier for water-in-oil creams and lotions, and a solubilizer of essential oils in water. It results from the reaction of stearic acid with sorbitol and is, therefore, synthetically produced from naturally derived materials. |
| Uses | Sorbitan Monostearate (Span 60) is a lipophilic emulsifier that is a sorbitan fatty acid ester, being a sorbitol-derived analog of glycerol monostearate. It is a nonionic, oil-dispersible surface-active agent. It is used as a gloss enhancer in chocolate coatings; as a dispersant aid in coffee whiteners; to increase volume in cakes and icings; and often in combination with polysorbates. Typical usage level ranges from 0.30 to 0.70%. |
| Preparation | Prepared by reacting edible commercial stearic acid (usually containing associated fatty acids, chiefly palmitic) with sorbitol. |
| General Description | Span? 60 is a sorbitan monoester than is used as a non-ionic detergent. |
| Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable |
| Safety Profile | Very mildly toxic by ingestion. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
