Sorbitan Trioleate (Span 85): A Vital Component for Pharmaceutical Excipients
In the pharmaceutical industry, the selection of excipients is as crucial as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) itself. These inactive substances play vital roles in formulation, delivery, and stability. Sorbitan Trioleate, commonly known by its trade name Span 85, stands out as a valuable non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier for various pharmaceutical applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of high-purity chemicals, understands the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical sector and is a trusted source for Sorbitan Trioleate.
Sorbitan Trioleate (CAS 26266-58-0) is a ester derived from sorbitol and oleic acid, characterized by its hydrophobic nature and low Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) value of approximately 1.8. This makes it an exceptionally effective emulsifier for creating stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions. In pharmaceutical formulations, this property is leveraged in topical preparations, ointments, and certain controlled-release drug delivery systems. The high purity (≥99%) of our Sorbitan Trioleate ensures minimal batch-to-batch variability, a non-negotiable aspect for pharmaceutical manufacturers. For companies looking to buy Span 85 for pharmaceutical use, quality assurance is paramount.
The role of Span 85 as a pharmaceutical excipient extends beyond mere emulsification. It can act as a stabilizer, ensuring the integrity and shelf-life of complex formulations. Its compatibility with a wide range of APIs and other excipients makes it a versatile choice for formulators. When sourcing pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, it is imperative to partner with a reliable supplier. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. prides itself on its robust quality management systems and its ability to provide consistent, high-quality Sorbitan Trioleate.
