Features:
Polysorbate 60 is a sorbitan monostearate that has been ethoxy-lated with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide to give a water soluble, oil and water emulsifier. This product is one of a group of ethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters, which are often referred to as Polysorbates. This surfactant is a mixture of partial esters of sorbitol and its anhydrides made from fatty acids, primarily stearic, which is then reacted with ethylene oxide to make it hydrophilic in nature.
Applications:
It can be used as a solubilizer and emulsifier of oils and fragrances, wetting agent, viscosity modifier, anti-stat, stabilizer or dispersing agent. Typical applications are found in cosmetics, toiletries and ointments.
