What is Tween 60 ?
1. Tween 60 Chinese alias polysorbate 60, lemon-to-orange oily liquid or semi-gel, slightly special odor, slightly bitter.
2. Tween 60 is a non-ionic surfactant and has been widely used in food, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, and mechanical processing.
3. The synthesis method has one-step method and two-step method. The traditional one-step alkali catalyzed product contains various by-products such as diester and triester. The color is deep and the quality is unstable. It can only be used in petroleum. , washing and textile industries. The two-step method is divided into two types: esterification after etherification and etherification after esterification. The product obtained by esterification after etherification is black in color, high in diester and triester, and poor in quality; first esterification The products obtained by the post-etherification production process are darker in color, higher in hydroxyl value, and have lower fluidity and transparency in liquid form, but higher yields of monoesters and good quality performance, which are widely used by domestic and foreign manufacturers.
