The Properties and Functions of Polysorbate 60

图片
polysorbate 60 in hair products  is an oily thick liquid or a semi-solid with yellowish or amber color. It has a distinctive odor and slight bitter taste. Polysorbate 60 is a nonionic surfactant that is commonly used in food, personal care, pharmaceutical, industrial and more. There are two ways to synthesize polysorbate 60. The most common way is to go through base catalysis, where diesters, triglyceride and other by-products are produced in the reaction, resulting in dark color and unstable quality product. This type of polysorbate can only be used for petroleum, cleanser, textile and other industrial productions. Another way of synthesis is carried out by etherification and esterification; when etherification is performed prior to esterification, the product appears to be dark colored with high diesters and triglyceride contents and low stability. Whereas when esterification is performed before etherification, the product has lighter color, higher monoester yield and higher stab...

The Functions of Polysorbate 60

Polysorbate 60 is a synthetic ingredient that can be used in cosmetics and skin care to improve the texture of the formulation. It can be used as a surfactant, emulsifier and solubilizer. Polysorbate 60 is produced by ethoxylation of sorbitan. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that can be found naturally in certain fruits. Ethoxylation is the chemical reaction of adding ethylene oxide to sorbitol. Sorbitan reacts with 60 units of ethylene oxide, thus the number 60 in its name. The last step is to react with fatty acids derived from vegetable oils, such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid or oleic acid.    In addition to its functions in cosmetics, polysorbate 60 can also be used to prepare a variety of products in the food and pharmaceutical industries.   Polysorbate 60 in cosmetics  mainly functions to enhance the emulsification and lubricity, and is suitable for long-term storage. Polysorbate containing 60 oxyethylene units is a hydrophilic nonionic sur...

The Functions of Nonionic Surfactants in Productions -2

1. Nonionic surfactants in leather production The need of nonionic surfactant is limited in leather production, however nonionic surfactant is very important in enhancing the quality of leather. Leather production includes pre-treatment, tanning, fatliquoring, dyeing, finishing and many other processes. Among these processes, nonionic surfactants are mainly used in tanning and fatliquoring. In practice, nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene ethers are often used to give the leather a better hand feeling, so that the final leather produced appears smoother and has a more vivid color.   2. Nonionic surfactants in   huana productions In coal production, nonionic surfactants determine the quality of coal. Due to ubiquitous problems of high ash content and high humidity in coal, nonionic surfactant becomes an indispensable chemical in the production of coal. Flotation is often used in coal production, where air is injected into coal slurry, then surfactant is added to the slurry to f...

Sorbitan sesquioleate allergy , also known as SSO, is synthesized by the esterification of sorbitan with oleic acid. At room temperature, it is in the form of a yellow viscous liquid. Sorbitan sesquioleate is a W/O emulsifier with an HLB value of 3.7. It is soluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate, petroleum, and toluene.    Technical Information of Sorbitan Sesquioleate According to Q/GDRH 006-2020, other parameters over the sorbitan sesquioleate are available upon request.   Sorbitan Sesquioleate Uses At present, sorbitan sesquioleate is widely used as emulsifiers in cosmetics, explosives, textile, and printing industries. It can effectively act as an emulsifier, stabilizer, lubricant, thickener, etc. Among all the uses of sorbitan sesquioleate, its use in cosmetics is most prominent. Our sorbitan sesquioleate is now widely used in a variety of personal care and cosmetic products, including, skin-care products, body cleansing products, makeup, sunscreen, etc. Regarded as a low...
