Green Grade Surfactant Polysorbate 80 CAS NO 9005-65-6
Polysorbate 80, also known as Tween 80 on the market, is a high-performance nonionic surfactant made by ethoxylation of sorbitan monooleate. It is a yellow transparent liquid with a mild odor and is easily soluble in water, ethanol, and many polar solvents, which is particularly beneficial for flexible formulation. Its HLB value is approximately 15, making it a stable oil in water emulsifier that is often used in rinse and dwell cosmetics. The general addition amount is 1-5%, and the performance can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the product.
Functional Role in Formulation
When formulating, polysorbate 80 can effectively reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water phases, and the emulsification effect is very reliable. It can keep the viscosity of the product stable and reduce the possibility of formula problems. Its chemical structure is versatile: polyoxyethylene chains make it more soluble in water,…
