Basic Information

Product Description

Product Name：Span 60

CAS No: 1338-41-6

Form: powder

Product Application

1. Cosmetics & Personal Care

Strong W/O Emulsifier: Used in high-oil-phase water-in-oil creams (e.g., classic "cold cream" or "vanishing cream") to form stable W/O systems with a rich, moisturizing feel, ideal for dry skin.

Thickener: Thickens the oil phase, increasing cream hardness and preventing oil separation or deformation.

Emollient: Enhances the occlusive properties of hand creams and body lotions, reducing transepidermal water loss.

2. Food Industry

Food Emulsifier: Compliant with GB 2760, used in margarine, shortening, and chocolate coatings​ to reduce interfacial tension, prevent oil separation, and improve texture and mouthfeel.

Defoamer: Suppresses foam in bean products and sugar refining, improving production efficiency.

Stabilizer: Prevents large ice crystal formation in ice cream, enhancing smoothness.

3. Pharmaceuticals

W/O Ointment Base: Blended with petrolatum and lanolin as a W/O emulsifier for topical ointments​ (e.g., eczema, neurodermatitis treatments) to promote transdermal absorption of lipophilic drugs.

Drug Carrier: Disperses poorly water-soluble drugs (e.g., griseofulvin, antifungals) in oral suspensions to enhance bioavailability.

Suppository Base: Mixed with cocoa butter to prepare W/O suppositories, controlling drug release rates.

4. Industrial Applications

Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a lubricating-thickening agent​ in cutting oils and rolling oils, enhancing oil film strength, reducing tool wear, and thickening the oil phase to prevent fluid loss.

Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as an emulsifier and softener​ in textile oils, forming a uniform lubricating film on fibers to reduce friction, improve hand feel, and enhance antistatic properties.

Pesticide Emulsifiers: Blended with anionic surfactants (e.g., calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate) to prepare high-oil-phase pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, improving the dispersion and adhesion of active ingredients.

Coatings/Inks: Functions as a dispersant​ to prevent pigment/precipitate settling and improve coating leveling and gloss.
