This Sorbitol Solution 70% is a high-purity, non-crystallizing aqueous sorbitol syrup manufactured to E420 industrial grade specifications. It is specifically suited as the primary feedstock for the synthesis of sorbitan esters (Span series) and their ethoxylated derivatives (Tween/polysorbate series). The product is supplied as a clear, colorless, odorless syrupy liquid with consistent dry substance content and low reducing sugar levels, ensuring reliable esterification and dehydration performance in surfactant production.
For buyers sourcing raw materials for nonionic surfactant manufacturing, this grade offers the balance of purity, handling convenience, and cost efficiency that bulk industrial operations require.

Buyers in the surfactant industry typically evaluate sorbitol on three fronts: reactivity consistency, low impurity interference, and handling efficiency.
1. Consistent Reactivity for Esterification
The sorbitol content and dry substance are tightly controlled to provide predictable stoichiometry during the dehydration step that forms sorbitan, followed by esterification with fatty acids. Low reducing sugar content (≤ 0.15%) minimizes side reactions and color body formation, which is critical for producing Span and Tween grades with acceptable color and odor profiles.
2. Non-Crystallizing Formulation
Unlike crystalline sorbitol powder, this 70% solution is formulated to resist crystallization even at −18°C for 48 hours. This eliminates the need for heated storage and reduces the risk of handling interruptions in bulk operations. For plants receiving material in drums or IBCs, the syrup remains pumpable and ready for direct charging to reactors.
3. Optimized for Bulk Handling
Supplied in 250 kg, 270 kg, or 275 kg drums, as well as 1,300 kg IBC totes, the product is designed for facilities that consume sorbitol on a continuous or campaign basis. The liquid form avoids dust generation, dissolves readily in reaction media, and integrates directly into automated dosing systems.
| Application | Role of Sorbitol Solution 70% |
|---|---|
| Sorbitan Esters (Span series) | Primary polyol feedstock; dehydrated to sorbitan then esterified with fatty acids (lauric, stearic, oleic, etc.) |
| Polysorbates (Tween series) | Ethoxylation of sorbitan esters to produce water-soluble nonionic surfactants |
| Industrial Surfactant Intermediates | Precursor for other sorbitol-derived esters and polyols |
| Chemical Manufacturing | General-purpose polyol for condensation and esterification reactions |
The resulting Span and Tween products are used in food emulsifiers, pharmaceutical excipients, personal care formulations, and industrial emulsification systems.
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Standard Drums | 250 kg / 270 kg / 275 kg new plastic or steel drums |
| IBC Totes | 1,300 kg |
| Minimum Order | Negotiable; bulk quantities available |
| Supply Capacity | Stable bulk supply suitable for recurring industrial demand |

Each lot is tested against the full specification table prior to release. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting dry substance, sorbitol content, reducing sugars, heavy metals, and other critical parameters. This supports incoming material qualification for surfactant manufacturers operating under ISO or GMP-oriented quality systems.
Send us your required quantity, destination port, and any specific specification requirements. We will respond with a tailored quotation, current COA sample, and lead time.
Typical buyer inquiries we handle:
• “What is the reducing sugar level and how does it affect color in Span 60?”
• “Can you supply 20 MT in 275 kg drums monthly to [port]?”
• “Do you have documentation for REACH or Halal/Kosher compliance?”
We quote against your specification, not from a generic price list. Bulk orders and repeat supply arrangements are welcome.
Sourcing sorbitol for surfactant production is not just about price per ton — it is about supply reliability, batch-to-batch consistency, and documentation that keeps your production and compliance teams confident. Here is what we bring to the table.
1. Batch-to-Batch Consistency You Can Formulate Around
For esterification and ethoxylation, small variations in dry substance or reducing sugar content can shift reaction yields and product color. We control these parameters tightly and release every lot against the full specification table. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each shipment, so your QC team receives verifiable data — not just a claim on a label.
2. Compliance Documentation Ready for Your Market
We understand that industrial buyers still need regulatory paperwork. We can provide COA, MSDS/SDS, specification sheets, and supporting documentation for E420 / INS 420(ii) conformity. If your market requires REACH, Halal, or Kosher declarations, tell us at the inquiry stage and we will confirm what can be supplied with your order.
3. Packaging and Logistics Built for Bulk Buyers
We ship in 250 kg, 270 kg, and 275 kg drums, and 1,300 kg IBC totes — standard configurations that fit existing drum handling and dosing systems. We work with your preferred destination port and can discuss container loading plans for mixed or full loads. If you need neutral packaging or your own label, that can be arranged.
4. Direct Communication, Fast Quotation
You are not routed through a call center. Send your specification, quantity, and destination port, and you receive a tailored quotation with current COA sample and lead time — typically within one business day. Technical questions about reducing sugar levels, crystallization behavior, or compatibility with your fatty acid feedstocks are answered by people who know the product.
5. Flexible Order Terms for Long-Term Partners
We support trial orders for first-time buyers and volume-based pricing for repeat customers. If your production is seasonal or campaign-based, we can discuss stocking arrangements so material is available when you need it, without tying up your warehouse capital.
Bottom line: We aim to be the sorbitol supplier your purchasing, production, and quality teams stop worrying about — consistent material, honest documentation, and a person who answers when you call.
