Product Introduction
Product Description
Span 20 (E493), with CAS 1338-39-2, is produced from sorbitol and lauric acid, resulting in a mild, biodegradable emulsifier. It is oil-soluble, has a low HLB value, and performs well in both high-fat and high-oil systems. This makes Span 20 ideal for stabilizing emulsions, enhancing product consistency, and improving shelf-life. It is commonly used alongside polysorbates to build balanced emulsification systems in advanced formulations.

Product Applications
Food Applications
Beverages and dairy alternatives: Acts as a fat emulsifier to improve mouthfeel, stability, and flavor dispersion in plant-based milk, coffee creamers, and ready-to-drink beverages.
Bakery and confectionery: Enhances aeration and crumb softness in cakes, pastries, chocolates, and coatings, supporting better emulsification of fats and oils.
Sauces, dressings, and seasoning oils: Prevents oil separation and improves viscosity control, helping manufacturers achieve smooth, stable emulsions.
Ice cream and frozen desserts: Works with other emulsifiers to prevent ice crystal formation and improve creaminess.
Industrial Applications
Cosmetics and personal care: Functions as a mild emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, serums, and oil-based formulations.
Pharmaceuticals: Supports controlled-release systems and enhances dispersion in ointments and topical products.
Chemical and industrial formulations: Used in lubricants, agricultural emulsions, and coatings where stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions are required.
Textile and leather processing: Improves wetting, lubrication, and dispersion performance.
