Mosselman Sorbitan Monooleate 20 EO (9005-65-6) are obtained by the ethoxylation of sorbitan esters. They are more hydrophilic than the sorbtan esters itself and are used as non-ionic surfactants and solubilizers for water insoluble active products and essential oils. In combination with the non-ethoxylated sorbitan esters, they can be used as emulsifiers for oil in water emulsion. Ethoxylated sorbitan esters find applications in cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, textile fibers etc.
