Product Name: Polysorbate 20, 40, 60, 80
Category: Non-Ionic Surfactants / Specialty Chemicals
HS Code: 340242
Product Summary:
Polysorbates (Polysorbate 20, 40, 60, and 80) are a series of non-ionic surfactants derived from the ethoxylation of sorbitan (a dehydrated sugar alcohol) esterified with fatty acids. The numbers (20, 40, 60, 80) correspond to the fatty acids used and their ethoxylation levels, which influence their HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance), emulsifying power, and solubility characteristics. These surfactants are widely used for their emulsifying, dispersing, and stabilizing properties across various industries.
Used in personal care products, food emulsions, industrial formulations, cleaning products, and agrochemical emulsifiers.

Polysorbates are ester derivatives of sorbitan, where sorbitan is esterified with various fatty acids (lauric, stearic, oleic, and palm kernel fatty acids) and then ethoxylated. The number in the name (20, 40, 60, or 80) indicates the fatty acid used and the extent of ethoxylation.
Due to their non-ionic nature, Polysorbates are particularly stable in various formulations, as they are less affected by the presence of salts or other ionic substances, unlike anionic surfactants. Polysorbates are highly effective in stabilizing emulsions, dispersing oils in water, and forming clear or translucent emulsions, making them a key ingredient in a wide range of formulations.
