An emulsifying agent prepared from sorbitol in a three-step process. The sorbitan is then partially esterified with a fatty acid, such as oleic or stearic acid, to yield a hexitan ester. Finally, ethylene oxide is chemically added in the presence of a catalyst to yield the polysorbate. Benefits: Non-ionic, multi-purpose emulsifier (enables water and oil to mix)...
