Sorbitan monostearate, also known as Span 60, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the reaction of sorbitol and stearic acid. It is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications for stabilizing emulsions, improving texture, and enhancing product consistency. With its excellent dispersing and wetting properties, it is commonly employed in bakery products, ice creams, creams, lotions, and various oil-in-water or water-in-oil formulations. Its versatility, safety profile, and compatibility with other emulsifiers make it a valuable additive across multiple industries.

Setting up a sorbitan monostearate production plant involves securing raw materials such as sorbitol and stearic acid, installing reactors for esterification, purification systems, and drying equipment, along with quality testing facilities. The plant requires utilities like steam, water, and electricity, along with skilled manpower for operations, packaging, and logistics to ensure efficient production and market supply.
