Tween 80 [9005-65-6]

Tween 80 [9005-65-6] carries a recognized safety classification for professional environments, conforming to industry standards. This amber oily liquid is a polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, with a molecular structure consisting primarily of hydrophilic ethylene oxide and lipophilic sorbitan ester units. Tween 80 is a nonionic surfactant, widely used as an emulsifier and wetting agent due to its ability to reduce surface tension between oil and water. It exhibits a saponification value of 45 - 55 mgKOH/g and a hydroxyl value of 65 - 80 mgKOH/g, indicating its high degree of hydrolysis. This particular SKU features a maximum water content of ≤3.0%, heavy metals content of ≤0.001%, and a residue on ignition of ≤0.25%. The product is stored ambiently, and it conforms to relevant references for identification purposes.
