General description

Sorbitane trioleate, or Span 85, is a non-ionic detergent.

Application

Sorbitane trioleate, or Span 85, has been used in a study to develop a novel bottom-up process to produce nanoparticles containing protein and peptide for suspension in hydrofluoroalkane propellants. It has also been used in a study to analyze the application of liquid chromatography in polymer non-ionic antistatic additives.

Other Notes

Fatty acid composition: Oleic acid (C18:1) ≥ 60%; linoleic acid (C18:2) 3 - 12%; linolenic acid (C18:2) ≤ 3%; palmitoleic acid (C16:1) 2 - 6%; balance primarily palmitic acid (C16:0).
