Description
Sorbitol 70% Non-Crystallizable is a high-purity polyol supplied as a clear, colorless, viscous aqueous solution with a dry substance content of approximately 70%. The non-crystallizable grade is specifically formulated to remain stable in liquid form under normal storage conditions, preventing the crystallization issues associated with standard sorbitol solutions. With a minimum sorbitol content of 50% and a controlled sugar profile, it delivers consistent performance across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications.
The product meets strict physicochemical specifications including controlled pH, low sulphated ash content, and high resistivity, ensuring suitability for sensitive industrial and regulated end uses.
⚠️ Off-Specification Notice: This batch is off-spec due to an elevated pH value. The measured pH (14% solution) is 9.4, against a specification limit of 5.0–7.5. All other parameters are within specification. This product may still be suitable for applications where pH is not a critical parameter, or where the formulation already incorporates NaOH or other alkaline components.
