  • Applications

    Sorbitan, tetradodecanoate (CAS number: 93963-93-0) is a highly lipophilic nonionic surfactant used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care formulations. It also serves as a dispersing agent and stabilizer in household cleaning products and detergents, helping oil-free and oil-rich phases mix. In industrial manufacturing and coatings/inks, it functions as a surfactant/additive to improve emulsions and pigment dispersion, and in polymer processing as a compatibilizer to improve compatibility of lipophilic ingredients. In pharmaceuticals, it is utilized as an excipient for emulsions and suspensions, and it can act as a processing aid or intermediate in formulation development.
