Contact SupplierPolysorbates, including Polysorbate 80, are often found in liquid form. Polysorbates are a group of emulsifiers derived from the reaction of sorbitol with ethylene oxide and fatty acids. They are versatile in the creation of stable emulsions, making them suitable for various applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. In liquid form, Polysorbates are easier to incorporate into formulations and mix with other liquid ingredients.
The specific type of polysorbate is denoted by a number, such as Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 40, Polysorbate 60, and Polysorbate 80. Each type of polysorbate has a specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), which determines its affinity for water or oil. This property makes polysorbates valuable in creating stable emulsions and improving the solubility of various ingredients in different formulations. The choice of polysorbate depends on the specific requirements of the application and the characteristics desired in the final product.
