SORBITAN OLEATE LAURYLGLUCOSIDE CROSSPOLYMER.

Valuable CAS - / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING

Sorbitan Oleate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer is a multifunctional ingredient serving as a surfactant, emulsifier, and foam booster. It is engineered to stabilize complex oil-in-water systems, enhance foam quality and density, and refine the textural properties of formulations. Additionally, it aids in dispersing lipophilic ingredients, such as fragrances, within water-based products.

Summary

Cleansing Emulsifying Surfactant - Foam Boosting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This crosspolymer operates by modifying interfacial tension, effectively allowing immiscible oil and water phases to combine into stable emulsions. Its surfactant properties contribute to efficient cleansing and foam generation, improving both the volume and resilience of lather. By influencing formulation rheology, it also acts as a texturizing agent, contributing to desired product viscosity and feel.

Stability

Sorbitan Oleate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer maintains stability within a broad pH range of 2 to 12. While robust, extreme pH values combined with the presence of water can lead to hydrolysis of its ester components. It is particularly effective in forming stable emulsion systems that integrate both water-based and oil-based ingredients.
