Applications:

Sorbitol is widely used in fields of medicine,light industry,food and chemistry.It is mainly used for the materials of Vc in medicine and materials of surfactant in light industry. It also can be used in toothpaste, cigarette and cosmetics as the substitute of glycerin. In the food industry, sorbitol is used as edulcorator, especially suitable for the food of diabetics;it also can lengthen the storage term of some food.In chemical industry,sorbitol rosin ester is used as the materials of common construction coating.

ORAL HYGIENE FORMULATIONS

Due to plastifying and humectants properties, SORBITOL is widely used in tooth pastes

and other oral hygiene formulations. It has resistance to fermentation by dental

plaque bacteria

COSMETICS

It preferred in cosmetics, because in addition to it's moisture stabilizing property.

It's slippery and has emulsifying properties. It is non-toxic and leaves an

syrups, olixirs, sulpha drugs, tonics, vitamins and amino acids-complex preparations,

laxatives and ointment based for hepatic and diabetic diseases, SORBITOL

injections are used.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY

Tobacco processed with SORBITOL gives mild aromatic fames when smoked and does not

develop acrolein, which may be the case when glycerine is used as humectants.

SORBITOL being non volatile, the tobacco aroma is preserved.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY

SORBITOL is used as softening agent to ensure better processing of fibres. Used in

textile printing pastes and textile finishes. When SORBITOL is used it gives sharp

outline, better colour yields and lustre.

PAPER INDUSTRY

SORBITOL increases the flexibility of paper, thus folding #118alue is higher while the

length of rupture and elongation does not change abnormally.

PAINT INDUSTRY

It can be used as cost effective replacement of propylene glycol in liquid paint.
