(Sorbitan trioleate CAS 26266-58-0)

Overview of Sorbitan Trioleate

Sorbitan triolate, abbreviated as STO, is a non-ionic surfactant widely used in the fields of cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. As an emulsifier and stabilizer, it can effectively improve the texture and stability of products, enhance their effectiveness and shelf life. STO is prepared by esterification of sorbitol and oleic acid, and has good wetting, dispersion, and solubilization properties. The hydrophilic and oleophilic groups in its molecular structure endow it with unique interfacial activity, enabling it to form a stable emulsion layer at the oil-water interface, thereby preventing oil-water separation. Meanwhile, STO also has good compatibility and safety, and when used in combination with multiple components, it can produce synergistic effects and improve the overall performance of the product.

Characteristic of Sorbitan Trioleate

Emulsification performance: As a non-ionic surfactant, Sorbitan triolate has good emulsification performance and can form a stable emulsification layer at the oil-water interface, keeping the oil-water mixture stable.

Wetting and dispersibility: Due to the presence of hydrophilic and oleophilic groups in its molecular structure, Sorbitan triolate can effectively wet the solid surface, allowing lipid components to uniformly disperse in the aqueous phase.

Stability: Sorbitan triolate exhibits good stability over a wide range of pH values and can maintain its emulsifying and dispersing properties under different environmental conditions.

Compatibility: This component has good compatibility with various oils, waxes, pigments, and other surfactants, and can be easily mixed with other components.

Safety: Sorbitan triolate has undergone multiple toxicological studies and is considered safe for the skin and eyes, making it suitable for the cosmetics and food industries.

Multifunctionality: In addition to being used as an emulsifier and dispersant, Sorbitan triolate can also be used as a stabilizer, thickener, lubricant, etc., and has a wide range of industrial applications.

Environmental friendliness: Sorbitan triolate has good biodegradability and minimal impact on the environment, in line with the principles of green chemistry.

Storage Conditions:

Temperature control:

Keep the storage environment in a cool, dry, well ventilated room and away from sources of fire.

To avoid exposure to high temperatures, it is recommended to store at a temp not exceeding 30 ° C (86 ° F).

Avoid direct sunlight as it may accelerate chemical reactions and decomposition processes.

Humidity control:

Keep the relative humidity of the storage environment low to prevent product moisture absorption and clumping.

Use desiccants or dehumidifiers to maintain a low humidity environment.

Packaging and containers:

Store in tightly sealed containers to prevent the entry of air, moisture, and pollutants.

Avoid using glass containers as temperature changes may cause glass to break.

Choose containers that meet food or cosmetic storage standards, such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or stainless steel containers.

Avoiding pollutants:

The storage area should be kept away from dust, dirt, and other possible pollutants.

Avoid coexisting with toxic, harmful, or incompatible chemicals.

Batch storage and first in, first out principle:

Follow the principle of first in, first out (FIFO) to ensure that the earliest products received are used first.

For large quantities of sorbitan trioleic acid esters, it is recommended to store them in batches for more effective management and control.

Regular inspection and maintenance:

Regularly inspect storage containers and packaging to ensure they remain intact and sealed.

Regularly inspect product quality to ensure that there are no quality issues such as discoloration, sedimentation, or odor.

Follow safety regulations:

The storage area should have clear safety signs and operating procedures.

Staff should receive appropriate training on how to handle unexpected situations such as leaks, fires, etc.

Record management:

Establish storage records, including information such as purchase date, storage location, quantity, batch number, etc.

Regularly update records to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of information.

FAQ

Q1

How does this ingredient penetrate and moisturize the skin?

Re:Sorbitan Trioleate exhibits excellent penetration and moisturizing effects on the skin. Due to its lipophilic and hydrophilic components in its molecular structure, it can effectively carry moisture into the deep layers of the skin, extending long-lasting moisturizing effects. At the same time, its molecular structure also helps to improve the skin's ability to retain moisture, thereby improving skin dryness and dehydration.

Q2

What is the emulsification performance of Sorbitan Trioleate, and what is its role in lotion and frost products?

Re:Sorbitan Trioleate has excellent emulsification performance and can form stable emulsions at the oil-water interface. In lotion and cream products, it mainly acts as an emulsifier to ensure uniform mixing between oil and water phases and prevent separation or precipitation of products during storage and use. In addition, Sorbitan Trioleate can increase product stability and extend shelf life.

Q3

What are the unique advantages or characteristics of Sorbitan Trioleate compared to other emulsifiers?

Re:Compared with other emulsifiers, the unique advantage of Sorbitan Trioleate lies in its excellent emulsifying effect and stability. The polyol portion in its molecular structure gives it excellent hydrophilicity and oleophility, thus maintaining stability over a wide range of pH and temp. In addition, Sorbitan Trioleate also has good skin compatibility and is less likely to cause irritating or allergic reactions.

Q4

What is the stability and chemical stability of Sorbitan Trioleate, and can it withstand different environmental conditions and storage times?

Re:Sorbitan Trioleate has high stability and chemical stability. Under appropriate storage conditions, it can resist adverse factors such as oxidation, hydrolysis, and microbial contamination, while maintaining its original chemical structure and properties. Therefore, Sorbitan Trioleate can exist stably under different environmental conditions and can withstand longer storage times.

Q5

How compatible is Sorbitan Trioleate with other ingredients in the product formula? Is there any compatibility taboo?

Re:Sorbitan Trioleate typically has good compatibility with other ingredients in product formulations. Due to the polyol portion and oleophilic groups in its molecular structure, it can be mixed evenly with various surfactants, oils, water-based components, etc., forming a stable formulation system. However, in certain specific situations, such as high concentrations of acidic or alkaline environments, Sorbitan Trioleate may interact with other components or create compatibility taboos.
