DUB SE
Sucrose Esters USP/NF, EP Sucrose esters are natural surfactant materials obtained by the esterification of one or more of the hydroxyl groups of the sucrose molecule with vegetable fatty acids. These compounds are non-ionic and have excellent emulsifying, wetting and dispersing properties. By modifying the esterfication degree of the sucrose, it is possible to obtain a range of different emulsifiers with HLB from 3 to 16.
Sucrose esters are tasteless, odorless and non-toxic. They are non-irritant, mild to the skin and find use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foods.
| Grade | Description
| Application
| DUB SE 3S | Sucrose Tristearate | Low HLB grades used as tablet / capsule lubricant while high HLB grades are used to make easy dispersible tablets. Also used as a solubilizer, foam enhancer and as an emulsifier - stabilizer in oil-in-water emulsions. Their non‐ionic nature makes them co-emulsifiers as well. | | DUB SE 5S | Sucrose Distearate | | DUB SE 11S | Sucrose Stearate | | DUB SE 15P | Sucrose Palmitate | | DUB SE 16P | Sucrose Palmitate |
