Sorbax polyoxyethylated sorbitan esters are used as emulsifiers and solubilizers. These surfactants are used in combinations with lower HLB surfactants, particularly the corresponding non-ethoxylated sorbitan esters, for emulsification of petroleum oils and solvents, vegetable oils, waxes, silicones, and other water insoluble compounds. These products are used in the agricultural, cosmetic, leather, metalworking, and textile industries.
