Description
PRODUCTS INFORMATION
Polysorbates are hydrophilic and nonionic surfactants. They are safe and nontoxic as emulsifier. Depending on the type of fatty acids, different types of polysorbates can be synthesized. Our range of polysorbates have a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance(HLB) between 9.6-16.7. They can dissolve or disperse in water, alcohol and other polar organic solvents, with the function of emulsification, solubilization and stabilization.
