Polysorbates, including Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 60, Polysorbate 40, and Polysorbate 20, are a range of non-ionic emulsifiers and surfactants derived from ethoxylated sorbitan esters. These emulsifiers are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and industrial sectors due to their unique ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and improve the texture, solubility, and stability of formulations. The Polysorbate series plays a critical role in various applications by ensuring homogeneous mixing of otherwise immiscible components.
Polysorbate 80, with a HLB value of 15, is commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in injectable drugs, lipid emulsions, vaccine adjuvants, and oral suspensions, where it enhances the solubility of lipophilic drugs and stabilizes emulsions. Polysorbate 60 (HLB ~14.9) is used in food and cosmetic products, providing excellent emulsification properties and improved texture in ice creams, margarine, salad dressings, creams, shampoos, and moisturizers. Polysorbate 40 (HLB ~13.5) is utilized in cosmetic formulations, including lotions and personal care products, to enhance the dispersal of active ingredients, while Polysorbate 20 (HLB ~16.7) is best known for its application in flavoring systems, fragrance formulations, and aerosols, helping to solubilize oils and improve product stability.
These Polysorbates are ideal for high-temperature processing, autoclaving, and pasteurization, where they maintain their chemical stability. They are also resistant to oxidation, ensuring that products stay stable and effective during long-term storage. They are available in both liquid and waxy/semi-solid forms depending on the temperature and grade, and are offered in Pharma Grade (USP/NF, EP compliant), Food Grade (FSSAI, EFSA, FDA approved), and Cosmetic Grade variants. They are packed in 50 kg HDPE drums, 200 kg barrels, or custom bulk packaging according to client requirements.
The Polysorbate series has multiple certifications, including Halal, Kosher, and GMP certifications, with a shelf life of 24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistency, including acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, and moisture content. We provide full technical documentation (COA, TDS, MSDS) to ensure compliance and meet customer specifications.
Polysorbates 80, 60, 40, and 20 are ideal for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, detergents, paints, coatings, agrochemicals, and textiles.
