Chemical Name: Sorbitan Monooleate Emulsifier System; Mixture of Emulsifier, Co-Emulsifier, and Emulsion Promoter
Chemical Formula: C₂₄H₄₄O₆
CAS Number: 1338-43-8
Physical & Chemical Properties: This product is an amber or brown viscous oily liquid, insoluble in water but soluble in hot oil and organic solvents.
It is a W/O type surfactant compound with excellent emulsification and low-temperature dispersion properties, which can significantly improve the matrix structure, detonation performance, and storage stability of emulsion explosives.
Span 80, chemically known as Sorbitan Monooleate, is a low-HLB, non-ionic surfactant widely used as a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier system. It is typically formulated as a mixture of emulsifier, co-emulsifier, and emulsion promoter, designed to deliver excellent emulsification, dispersion, and long-term stability in demanding industrial formulations.
With its strong lipophilic nature and reliable performance under low-temperature and complex processing conditions, Span 80 Emulsifier has become an essential emulsifier in emulsion explosives, pesticide formulations, and cosmetics & personal care products.
