Polysorbate 85 is also known as polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan trioleate ,consists of sorbitol, and oleic acid.It has a molecular formula of C100H188O28.At room temperature,it is in the form of a pale-yellow to orange oily liquid.It is an O/W emulsifier with an HLB value of 11.0.;it is also soluble in most mineral and vegetable oil.And it can disperse in water.polysorbate 85 acts as an emulsifier,paraffin inhibitor.
Polysorbates
Polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters also known as polysorbates, are ethoxylated sorbitan esters. They are non-ionic hydrophilic surfactants that are commonly used as oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier.
Our wide product range of polysorbates can be utilized for numerous applications, including, but not limited to, acting as emulsifiers, stabilizers and foaming agents in bread improver and cake oil; stabilize special emulsification in cosmetics; for polysorbate with high HLB values, they can be used as solutizers for essence; and for the ones with low HLB values, they act as emulsifiers for mineral oils. Polysorbates are considered to be non-toxic and safe food additives when used appropriately. Our polysorbates are sourced from vegetable/vegan ingredients.
Concocted surfactant mixtures can be made by combining different portions of polysorbate and sorbitan esters, which can be tailored for specific product formulations.
