S60 - Sorbitan Monostearate Span 60 is a non-ionic emulsifier widely used in food, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Its yellow granular powder form ensures easy blending and dissolution in oil-based systems, making it a reliable choice for formulations requiring emulsification and stabilization.
This emulsifier offers a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 4.7, which makes it suitable for water-in-oil emulsions. It is non-toxic and complies with international food-grade standards, ensuring safety for use in consumable products.
Available in 25 kg bags, S60 is designed for bulk handling and storage efficiency. Buyers should store it in a cool, dry environment away from moisture to maintain its integrity and performance over time.
Best suited for:
Not ideal for:
Span 60 is more hydrophobic than Tween 60, making it better for stabilizing water-in-oil systems. For higher HLB needs, consider Span 80 or Tween series emulsifiers.
Pricing scales with order volume and minimum order quantity (MOQ). Bulk orders typically yield better unit economics. Request a quote for precise pricing based on your volume tier.

Span 60 is primarily soluble in oils and organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It functions best when pre-dissolved in the oil phase of a formulation.
Span 60 has a lower HLB (4.7) and is more hydrophobic than Tween 60 (HLB 14.9), making it better for water-in-oil emulsions. Tween 60 is preferred for oil-in-water systems.
When stored under recommended conditions, Span 60 has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture. Confirm stability data with the supplier.
Span 60 is not typically used in direct pharmaceutical formulations but may be suitable for topical ointments or creams as an emulsifier. Buyers should verify compliance with pharmacopeia standards with the supplier.
