Product Description
Alkest TW 20, also known as Polysorbate 20 or Tween 20 (CAS 9005-64-5), is a high-performance nonionic surfactant widely used in industrial and personal care applications. It functions as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent, providing excellent stability in both water-based and solvent-based systems. Alkest TW 20 is valued for its low-foaming properties, making it ideal for formulations where smooth texture, uniform mixing, and consistent performance are critical.
This surfactant improves the formation and stability of emulsions, enhances adhesion in coatings and adhesives, and ensures better dispersion of active ingredients in personal care products. Its gentle nature and compatibility with various chemicals make it suitable for eco-friendly and low-VOC formulations, meeting modern environmental and safety standards.
Applications
Waterborne and solvent-based coatings and paints for stable emulsions
Adhesives, sealants, and polymer dispersions
Textile and leather treatment as a wetting and emulsifying agent
Personal care and cosmetic formulations for uniform texture and ingredient distribution
