Product Details
Product Name: | Span 60 |
Span 60, also known as sorbitan stearate, is a non-ionic surfactant that belongs to the sorbitan ester family. Span 60 is derived from the esterification of sorbitol and stearic acid. Span 60 is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and dispersant. Span 60 is a waxy, white solid with a mild odor and has excellent hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
In the food industry, Span 60 is commonly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer agent in the production of products such as baked goods, ice cream, and margarine. Span 60 helps to blend or homogenize two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, to form a stable emulsion, and prevents the separation of ingredients. Span 60 is also used in food-grade lubricants and as an anti-foaming agent in the processing of foods and beverages.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Span 60 is used as a solubilizer and emulsifier in the production of creams, ointments, and lotions. Span 60 helps to improve the stability of the products by preventing the separation of oil and water-based ingredients. Additionally, Span 60 is used as a dispersing agent in the production of combination drugs to improve their bioavailability.
In the cosmetic industry, Span 60 is widely used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of various products such as creams, lotions, and foams. Span 60 helps to improve the shelf life of skincare and cosmetic products by preventing the separation of the ingredients, and acts as an emollient, imparting a smooth and silky texture to the product.
Other applications of Span 60 include in the production of paints and coatings, as an emulsifier and dispersant to improve the flow and homogeneity of coatings.
Agricultural & Feed Additive Application: Span 60 serves as a reliable emulsifier and spreader for pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, helping active ingredients evenly attach to crop leaves to boost absorption efficiency. In animal feed processing, it works as a fat dispersant to uniformly mix oil nutrients into feed powder and reduce feed stratification during storage and transportation.
In conclusion, Span 60 is a versatile and widely used non-ionic surfactant in various industries. Span 60's excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and solubilizing properties make it a preferred choice for many applications, from food and pharmaceuticals to cosmetics 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
