What is Polysorbate?





1. Introduction of polysorbate adalah



Polysorbate is an orange-yellow or light-yellow relatively viscous liquid with a slight bitterness. Polysorbate is often used as a component of drugs. For example, it can be made into capsule preparations or ointment preparations. In addition, polysorbate can be used as an emulsifier in the industry.



2. The use of polysorbate



Polysorbate has a wide range of uses. Polysorbate is a polyhydric alcohol type nonionic surfactant. It has significant resistance to electrolytes and strong hydrophilicity. It is widely used in liquid, semi-solid and solid preparations as O/W emulsifiers, solubilizers, wetting agents, dispersants and stabilizers.



Polysorbate is a type of excellent O/W emulsifier, high concentration of electrolyte and changes in pH have little effect on its emulsification ability. It has a good emulsification effect on vegetable oil, mineral oil, animal fat, etc. It can be used in emulsions for external, oral and injection. This product can be used in combination with hydrophilic emulsifiers (such as sorbitan esters and sodium lauryl sulfate) to enhance the stability of O/W emulsifiers or creams.



Guangdong Huana Chemistry Co., Ltd. is a professional global chemical engineering company based in China. We provide polysorbate 50, non ionic surfactant, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester and etc. Want know non ionic emulsifier list or more? Please contact us.

What is HLB value?

图片
  WHAT IS HLB ? HLB value is the abbreviation for hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, it is the ratio between the hydrophilic portions and lipophilic portion of a surfactant. It is represented by a number between 1 and 20. An HLB value less than 6 indicates that the surfactant favors W/O emulsion; an HLB value greater than 8 favors O/W emulsion. HLB values in between 7 and 9 indicate that the surfactants are good wetting agents. Huana  has been professionally concentrated on Sorbitan  Esters & Polysorbates since 1993, with decades of R&D and production experience.

Differences between polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80

  W hat I s the D ifference between polysorbate 20 and 80   Synthetic Raw Materials Difference between  P olysorbate 20 80 Polysorbate 20 is a product of the polymerization reaction of sorbitan monolaurate and ethylene oxide, while polysorbate 80 is synthesized by the polymerization of sorbitan monooleate and ethylene oxide.   Application Difference between Polysorbate 20 and 80 P olysorbate 20 uses in cosmetics   is known as a non-ionic stain remover because it has relatively more hydrophilic groups (polyoxyethylene), which gives it a strong hydrophilicity property. Polysorbate 20 is usually used as an oil-in-water(O/W) type emulsifier and solubilizer.   Polysorbate 80 is one of the most common polysorbates. The   polysorbate 80 emulsifier   has significant resistance to electrolyte and strong hydrophilicity, which allow it to be widely used in liquid, semisolid and solid preparations. Polysorbate 80 is used as an oil-in-water(O/W) type emulsifie...
