D-Sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4), chemically defined as D-Glucitol, is a hexahydric sugar alcohol utilized as a critical polyol intermediate and stabilizing agent in industrial synthesis. Also recognized in technical contexts as Glucitol or Sorbol, this acyclic polyol functions through moisture retention and metal ion sequestration, serving as a primary reactant in the production of sorbitan esters, rigid polyether polyols, and alkyd resins. We provide this industrial material with competitive factory pricing to support continuous manufacturing operations, alongside options for customized specifications. Essential technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is readily available for all bulk supply orders.
