Polysorbate 20

Polysorbate 20 is also known as Tween 20. Its chemical name is polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate. Its relative average molecular mass is 1127.48. It uses sorbitan as its backbone. Its side chains are connected with 3 oxyethylene chains with hydrophilic characteristics and 1 aliphatic chain with lipophilic characteristics. Due to the hydrophilicity of ethylene oxide chain segments, polysorbate has a larger HLB value (16.7), it is a non-ionic hydrophilic surfactant with good performance and safety.
