Span 80

Span 80, a non-ionic, common surfactant, is widely used across many industries. It’s especially popular in chemistry, pharmaceuticals and food. It is produced by sorbitol reaction with oleic acids. It has unique hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and other functions.

Here are some examples of how Span 80 can be used.



1. Emulsifier

Span 80 can be used as an emulsifier, which helps oil and water to mix together to form a lotion. It is used widely in many fields, including food, cosmetics and medicine.


Cosmetics and skin-care products: Span 80 can be used in cosmetics to make oil in water lotions (W/O Lotion).
This allows oil and water to mix to create a stable lotion that is easier to apply and helps the active ingredients spread evenly on the skin. It is used in many products such as face creams, lotions, hair care, etc.

Pharmaceutical emulsifier Span 80 can be used to prepare various oil-water lotions such as injections, local ointments, etc. It can improve bioavailability, particularly for water-insoluble medications.

2. Pharmaceutical applications

Span 80, a surfactant used in pharmaceutical formulations for dissolution and dispersion aids in dissolution of drugs.



Pharmaceutical preparations: This is used for emulsions or solutions of drugs. It’s especially useful when the drugs are hard to dissolve and require significant assistance (such as lipophilics).

Delivery carrier: Span80 can be used to prepare nanomedicine delivery systems. It exerts emulsifying, stabilizing and enhancing effects on nanomedicine formulations.
This ensures the biological activity of the drugs and their sustained release characteristics.

3. Food Industry

In the food industry, Span 80 can be used as an emulsifier to combine oil with water and form a stable cream.

Food additives: They are used to improve the appearance and texture of food.
It is commonly found in foods like ice creams, chocolates, and pastries. It improves product texture, increases fluidity, prevents delamination, and more.

Candy and soft drink: Span 80 is used in some candies, such as candy coatings, and soft drinks to emulsify oil and water.
This makes the product more stable and uniform.

4. Agricultural chemicals

Span 80, a surfactant, is used in agricultural chemistry to improve the effectiveness of pesticides by helping them dissolve and disperse.

Formula for pesticides: Span 80 is a surfactant that helps to improve the spraying of pesticides.
It increases their permeability, absorption and control effectiveness.

Insecticides & herbicides Span 80 is used to emulsify insecticides & herbicides. It helps them dissolve in water allowing for even spraying on crop surfaces.

5. Oilfield and Petrochemical Industry

Span 80 is a common surfactant used in the petrochemical and oilfield industries to improve oil and gas separation and collection.


Oilfield chemicals: Span80 can be used in oil fields as a separation agent for petroleum and water to reduce the oil content of water.

Oil production increases: It can be used as an emulsifier and dispersant to improve the oil recovery efficiency.


6. Coatings and Printing Industry

Span 80, a dispersant, is used in the printing and coating industries to ensure the stability of inks and coatings.

Water based Coatings: Span80 can improve dispersion, reduce precipitation and increase uniformity and durability of coatings when used in water-based coats.


Ink formula helps disperse the pigments in ink and make it more uniform. It also prevents clumping.

7. Textile industry

Span 80 is a common wetting and dispersing agents in the textile industry.

Dye preparation can help improve dye solubility, dispersibility, and fiber penetration.


Fabric processing: Span80 can be used for lubrication and anti-static functions as well as waterproofing during fabric processing.

8. Paint and varnish

Span 80 is used as a dispersant, emulsifier and blending agent in paints and varnishes. It helps to mix oil-based and -based components and make paint compositions uniform.


Coating additives improve adhesion, glossiness and weather resistance of coatings. They also enhance oxidation resistance.

Summary

Span 80 is a non-ionic, versatile surfactant that’s widely used across many industries, including cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals and agriculture. Its functions include emulsifiers, dispersants, surfactants, stabilizers, etc. These all help to improve the stability and effectiveness of a product. It is used for oil-water mixing systems because of its low hydrophilicity. This is especially true when preparing oil in water lotions and fat soluble substances.
