Sorbitan triisostearate
Description
Sorbitan triisostearate (CAS 54392-27-7) is a lipophilic sorbitan ester derived from isostearic acid, functioning as a low-HLB emulsifier and rheology modifier across personal care, coatings, and industrial formulations.
Its oil-soluble character makes it effective for stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions and controlling texture in anhydrous systems. In color cosmetics and skincare, it is used to bind pigments and improve spreadability.
This additive provides a smooth skin feel in foundations, lipsticks, and sunscreens. Coatings and industrial lubricant formulators use it as a dispersant and consistency agent where oil-phase stability is critical.
In textile processing, it functions as a softening and conditioning additive applied to fiber finishes and fabric treatments. Food-grade applications include its use as an emulsifier in fat-based systems.
In these systems, it helps control crystallization and improve texture in confectionery coatings. Sorbitan triisostearate is supplied as a viscous liquid or paste at ambient temperature for easy handling.
It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and industrial end markets. Food-grade supply conforming to relevant purity standards is also offered.
Our material is manufactured to meet rigorous quality benchmarks for consistency and performance. Please contact our technical team for specific documentation regarding your application requirements and safety data.
