Product Details
Product Name: | Span 40 |
Span 40 is a non-ionic surfactant and a member of the sorbitan ester family. It is derived from the esterification of sorbitol with palmitic acid. Span 40 has excellent hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties that make it useful as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and dispersant in various industries.
In the food industry, Span 40 is commonly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer agent in the production of products such as dressings, sauces, and beverages. Span 40 helps create a stable emulsion while preventing separation between water and oil-based ingredients. In addition, Span 40 is used as an anti-foaming agent and lubricant in the processing of foods.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Span 40 is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of creams, lotions, and ointments. It helps to improve the stability of the product by preventing separation of oil and water-based ingredients. Span 40 is also used in the production of intravenous (IV) formulations that require both a water and oil-soluble component.
In the personal care industry, Span 40 is widely used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of creams, lotions, and emulsions. It helps to impart a smooth and creamy texture to the products while preventing the separation of oil and water-based materials. Span 40 is also used in hair care products as a conditioning agent and in sunscreens as an oil-in-water emulsifier.
Other applications of Span 40 include its use in the production of paints and coatings, where it is used as an emulsifier and dispersant, improving the flow and homogeneity of coatings.
Agrochemical and Industrial Lubricant Usage: Span 40 acts as an efficient emulsifier and spreading agent for herbicide and pesticide emulsions, enabling uniform attachment of active ingredients on crop surfaces to enhance efficacy. It can also serve as a dispersing auxiliary in plastic and rubber manufacturing to evenly distribute oil additives and reduce material agglomeration during extrusion.
In conclusion, Span 40 is a versatile non-ionic surfactant widely used in various industries. Its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and dispersing properties make it a popular choice for many applications, from food and pharmaceuticals to personal care products and paints.

Coated Feed ProductsCoated Feed Products refer to animal feeds or supplements whose surfaces are covered with protective or functional coatings like fats, starches, or sugars. This technology preserves heat-labile nutrients such as vitamins (A, C, D3) and enzymes from oxidation, decomposition, or moisture damage during storage and processing. Coatings also mask unpleasant tastes (e.g., of enrofloxacin for swine) and enhance palatability, boosting animal intake . Applied via automated coaters ensuring uniform coverage, these products support targeted nutrient release and reduce cross-contamination in production. Widely used in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture, they maintain nutritional integrity, improve feed stability, and ultimately enhance animal health and productivity.SNC00813Send Inquiry
Rumen-Protected CholineRumen-Protected Choline (RPC) is a specialized form of choline used in animal nutrition. Choline is essential for animal growth and health, but it needs to be absorbed in the small intestine. RPC is encapsulated to protect it from degradation in the rumen, ensuring it can reach the small intestine intact. Studies have shown that RPC can increase milk production in cows, reduce metabolic disorders such as ketosis, and may also benefit the growth and health of calves. It is typically used during the transition period of cows, from a few weeks before calving to a few months after.SNC00812Send Inquiry
Inosine 5'-Monophosphate Disodium Salt (IMP)Inosine 5'-Monophosphate Disodium Salt (IMP), with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₂N₄Na₂O₈P, is a nucleotide derivative widely used in food and biopharmaceutical fields. Primarily functioning as a flavor enhancer, it amplifies umami taste—often paired with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to create a synergistic effect that enriches food flavors, commonly added to sauces, snacks, and processed meats. Biochemically, it serves as an intermediate in purine metabolism, participating in nucleic acid synthesis and energy transfer in organisms. In pharmaceuticals, it aids in treating conditions like liver disorders and myocardial ischemia by supporting cellular energy production and tissue repair. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies, with low toxicity, making it a versatile ingredient across industries.SNC00810Send Inquiry
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA)Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₈. It is best known as a chelating agent—a substance that binds tightly to metal ions like calcium, magnesium, iron, and lead, forming stable, water-soluble complexes. In industrial settings, EDTA is used to prevent metal-catalyzed degradation in products like detergents, cosmetics, and food preservatives. In medicine, its sodium or calcium salts treat heavy metal poisoning (e.g., lead poisoning) by chelating toxic metals and facilitating their excretion. It also finds use in laboratory research, such as in cell culture media to sequester metal ions that might interfere with experiments. However, EDTA’s strong metal-binding property raises environmental concerns, as it can leach heavy metals from soil and wastewater, potentially harming aquatic ecosystems. This has led to restrictions on its use in some regions.SNC00809Send Inquiry
