{"id":132,"count":8,"description":"Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20), a versatile non-ionic surfactant, is essential for B2B formulators seeking stable, clear formulations in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. With its <strong>HLB value of 16.7<\/strong>, it excels as a hydrophilic emulsifier and solubilizer, bridging natural and synthetic performance to ensure compliance with global standards like E432 (EU) and 21 CFR 172.846 (FDA).\n    \n    Technical Properties and Applications\n    Derived from plant-based sorbitan monolaurate ethoxylated with 20 moles of ethylene oxide, Polysorbate 20 appears as a yellow to amber viscous liquid, fully soluble in water, ethanol, and methanol but dispersible in oils. Its low <strong>CMC of 0.06 mM<\/strong> enables efficient O\/W emulsions, preventing phase separation in essential oil solubilization (1:1 to 1:5 ratios based on oil type). Compared to Polysorbate 80 (HLB 15.0, oleic acid-based), it offers superior clarity for lightweight applications like fragrance sprays and mild cleansers, reducing irritation from anionic surfactants.\n    \n    \n        <strong>Cosmetics\/Personal Care:<\/strong> Solubilizes fragrances in toners and shampoos; vegan-certified options available.\n        <strong>Food &amp; Beverage:<\/strong> Emulsifies flavors in beverages and stabilizes bakery textures.\n        <strong>Pharma\/Industrial:<\/strong> Enhances drug bioavailability; aids agrochemical wetting and textile lubrication.\n        <strong>Safety\/Compliance:<\/strong> GRAS status, biodegradable, exempt from microplastics bans (REACH EU 2023\/2055); impurities like 1,4-dioxane controlled &lt;10 ppm.\n    \n    \n    Partner with us for high-purity, RSPO-certified Polysorbate 20 to optimize your formulations.
