Polysorbate 80(II)

Polysorbate 80, also known as Tween 80, is chemically named polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate. The relative average molecular weight is 1309.68. Sorbitan is used as the skeleton. The side chains are connected with three oxyethylene chains with hydrophilic characteristics and one aliphatic chain with lipophilic characteristics. Due to the hydrophilicity of ethylene oxide chain segments, polysorbate has a larger HLB value (15.0), it is a non-ionic hydrophilic surfactant with good performance and safety.
