Description
Polysorbate 20 – 100ml
DETERGENT – EMULSIFYING – SOLUBILISING
PH: 5-7 (at 5%) HBL 16
Polysorbate 20 is a vegetable-derived non-ionic surfactant containing ethylene oxide. It is therefore not a 100% natural product because in this case sorbitol is ethoxylated through industrial processes. It is very effective in Oil-in-Water emulsions, giving perfectly clear dispertions. It can however weaken the efficacy of paraben-based preservatives.
FLOWER TALES QUALITY: Our Polysorbitol 20 (Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan monolaurate) is vegetable-derived and is 100% pure, undiluted. Becuase it is subject to a process of ethoxylation, it is not a 100% "green" product. We decided to include this non -completely natural product in our catalogue because of its professional-level quality and effectiveness at lower concentrations than other similar products (1:2 ratio gives clear solutions in most cases). Polysorbate 20 is a well tolerated, low-hazard, low-ecological impact ingredient. The quality of this particular Polysorbate 20 makes it effective at small doses, reducing the concentration of non 100% natural substances to minimal levels. Polysorbate 20 is a very safe and versatile product that can be used as a surfactant, an emulsifier and as a solubilising agent, which many consider as an acceptable compromise between “naturalness” and “performance”.
APPLICATIONS:
SURFACTANT: non-ionic, secondary surfactant, it is compatible with all anionic and cationic surfactants and non-ionic emulsifiers. It mitigates the aggressive qualities of primary surfactants. Ideal when little foaming action is desired.
EMULSIFIER: Hydrophilic for Oil-in-Water emulsions. Simply add Polysorbate 20 to water-soluble ingredients (A Phase) of your emulsion
SOLUBILISER: It allows the dilution of fat-soluble substances into water. Add Polysorbate 20 to the Oil phase (C Phase) of your emulsion before adding the water-soluble ingredients (A Phase). The ratio is 1:2 (one part oils, two parts Polysorbate)
Packaging: Transparent PET Bottle with “flip top” cap. Reusable and Recyclable.
