  • Applications

    Sorbitan monocaprylate (CAS 60177-36-8) is used primarily as a non-ionic emulsifier and surfactant in formulated products; in cosmetics and personal care it acts as an emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water systems and improve texture; in food processing it serves as an emulsifier to stabilize dispersions of fats and oils; in household cleaning products it provides surfactant properties to enhance cleaning performance; in industrial manufacturing it is employed in coatings, inks, and polymer formulations as an emulsifier and processing aid to improve dispersion and formulation stability; in limited pharmaceutical or agrochemical formulations it may function as a solubilizer or stabilizer, depending on regulatory allowances.
