Polysorbate 20
Request pricePolysorbate 20 is a semisynthetic compound. It’s obtained through a manufacturing process that uses natural coconut oil along with ethylene oxide. It’s a light colored alternative to Polysorbate 80. Polysorbate 20 is classified as a member of an organic compound known as fatty acid esters.
Technical aspects
It can have a yellow to a brown color and has a specific odor. The pH of polysorbate 20 is important – it must be 5.5-7, otherwise the substance has no value and it decomposes. As an antistatic agent, Polysorbate 20 helps reduce and prevent the buildup of static charges.
It is both a thickener and a viscosity modifier, helping to ensure that the viscosity of a product does not change when exposed to different room temperatures, such as extreme cold or heat. It stabilizes emulsions and prevents ingredient separation and improves combining immiscible ingredients together.
Alternative names: E432, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate, polisorbate.

The shelf life of Polysorbate 20 is 24 months. Product should be stored in a cool place, away from heat and light.
