Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate CAS 9005-65-6,Polysorbate 80

Overview of Polyoxyethylene sorbitan Monooleate,polysorbate 80
Polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monooleate is a non-ionic emulsifier, mainly polymerized from oxidized triglyceride oleate and polyoxyethylene oleate. It is a light yellow viscous liquid that is insoluble in water but has good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. This compound is not easy to decompose and deteriorate at high temperatures, has stable chemical properties and good heat resistance.Light yellow to amber oil at room temperature, slightly bitter, soluble in water, aniline, ethyl acetate, and toluene, insoluble in mineral oil and vegetable oil. It belongs to O/W type emulsifier, HLB value is 15, with wetting, foaming, diffusion, and other properties.
