Tween 20 MBAL-LQ-(SG)

Tween 20 MBAL-LQ-(SG) by Croda is a high-quality and versatile nonionic surfactant, also known as Polysorbate 20. It is a water-soluble liquid formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan esterified with lauric acid. Tween 20 is widely used in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and dispersing properties.

Description: Tween 20 MBAL-LQ-(SG) is a water-soluble liquid formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan esterified with lauric acid.

Benefits:

1. Emulsification: Tween 20 is a highly effective emulsifier, capable of creating stable oil-in-water emulsions. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, and other cosmetic formulations.

2. Solubilization: This surfactant can solubilize lipophilic substances in water-based systems, allowing the incorporation of essential oils, fragrances, and other hydrophobic ingredients in various products.

3. Dispersing Agent: Tween 20 aids in dispersing and distributing insoluble or poorly soluble components evenly throughout a formulation, enhancing product stability.

4. Foaming Agent: It contributes to the formation of stable and creamy foam in personal care products like shampoos and body washes.

5. Wetting Agent: Tween 20 improves the wetting ability of water, facilitating the even spread of products on the skin or hair.

Applications:

1. Skincare: Used in creams, lotions, serums, and facial cleansers as an emulsifier and solubilizing agent.

2. Haircare: Included in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products to improve emulsification and solubilization.

3. Body Washes: Added to body washes and shower gels to create stable emulsions and enhance foaming.

4. Cosmetics: Utilized in makeup products like foundations and emulsions to improve their texture and stability.

5. Pharmaceuticals: Used in oral and topical pharmaceutical formulations as a solubilizing and dispersing agent.
