Sorbitan Esters
Sorbitan esters are non-ionic surfactants derived from sorbitol and fatty acids. They are widely used as emulsifiers, dispersing agents, and stabilizers across multiple industrial applications. Known for their excellent compatibility, chemical stability, and performance across a wide pH range, sorbitan esters play a critical role in enhancing process efficiency and end-product quality.

Sorbitan Monooleate Vegetable based (SMO Veg) is a variant of Sorbitan Mono Oleate, developed to meet the growing demand for sustainable and plant-derived raw materials. It offers performance comparable to conventional SMO while aligning with environmentally conscious manufacturing practices. It is non-ionic and biodegradable, while maintaining excellent emulsification and dispersion properties. Also, our SMO Veg is Kosher and Halal certified, making it suitable for applications requiring compliance with dietary, regulatory, or sustainability-driven standards.
Suitable for eco-conscious water treatment formulations
Functions as a non-ionic emulsifier and dispersant
Helps improve stability of treatment chemical blends
Acts as a wetting and emulsifying agent in textile processing
Improves dye penetration and fabric uniformity
Ideal for textile applications requiring vegetable-based auxiliaries

Sorbitan Monolaurate (SML) is a non-ionic surfactant offering effective emulsifying and wetting properties. It provides good compatibility across a range of formulations and is well-suited for applications requiring controlled emulsification, surface wetting, and processing consistency. It also demonstrates reliable thermal and chemical stability in industrial processing environments.
Functions as a wetting and emulsifying agent
Improves dye uptake and processing uniformity
Enhances fabric handling and finishing efficiency
Plastic Processing
Acts as an internal and processing aid
Improves dispersion of additives and fillers
Supports smoother processing and consistent material flow
