CAS 8007-43-0 — Sorbitan, (9Z)-9-octadecenoate

Sorbitan monooleate (CAS 8007-43-0) is a non-ionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and oleic acid, widely used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial formulations. It stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, improves solubility of hydrophobic actives, and enhances texture in creams, lotions, and processed foods. This chemical has a pale yellow to amber appearance, is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, and requires ambient storage under dry conditions. It carries no signal word under GHS classification. Molekula supplies sorbitan monooleate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
