Application
1. Daily chemical industry
Sorbitol is used as an excipient, moisturizer, and antifreeze in toothpaste; As an anti drying agent (instead of glycerol) in cosmetics, it can enhance the stretchability and lubricity of emulsifiers and is suitable for long-term storage.
2. Food industry
Adding sorbitol to food can prevent it from cracking and keep it fresh and soft.
3. Pharmaceutical industry
Sorbitol can be used as a raw material for the production of vitamin C; It can also be used as a raw material for syrup, injection infusion, pharmaceutical tablet pressing, as a drug dispersant, filler, cryoprotectant, anti crystallization agent, traditional Chinese medicine stabilizer, wetting agent, capsule plasticizer, sweetener, ointment matrix, etc.
4. Chemical industry
Sorbitol rosin resin is a common raw material for building coatings, which can be used as a plasticizer and lubricant in polyvinyl chloride resins and other polymers.
