Applications
- Food Industry: Used as an O/W type food emulsifier, either alone or in combination with Span-60, Span-65, and Span-80. Used as an emulsifier, dispersant for ice cream, bread, pastries, candies, and as a turbid agent for refreshing beverages.
- Cosmetics Field: As an emulsifier, it evenly mixes water and oil phases to prepare stable emulsion products. Also has penetration enhancement effect for better delivery of components to skin layers.
- Coatings and Inks Industry: As a dispersant, it evenly disperses pigments in the matrix, enhancing color stability and texture uniformity.
- Metalworking Lubricating Oil: Improves lubrication performance and heat dissipation performance of lubricating oil.
- Agricultural Field: Used as an antistatic agent, oiling agent for nylon and viscose cord, and serves as an intermediate for oiling agents in chemical fibers.
- Biotechnology and Laboratory Applications: Widely used in various biotech and lab applications.
Polysorbate 80 In Bath Bombs
Capable of exerting great fragrance and providing excellent bath experience, bath bombs are very popular worldwide. Using the chemical reaction between baking soda and acid, bath bombs create beautiful bubbles when touching water. However, many people don't know another scientific principle behind bath bombs - the important role of emulsifiers, specifically polysorbate 80 emulsifier. As water and essential oil inside bath bombs cannot mix normally, emulsifiers ensure essential oil and color disperse evenly instead of floating on top of bath water. Normally, polysorbate 80 emulsifier proportion is around 2% in the liquid stage.
