Tween 80 1 kg

Bulk Polysorbate 80 for Stable Emulsions Across Industries

Tween 80, 1 kg is a nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer whose real-world demand extends well beyond skincare formulations. Its core function is dissolving oils, essential oils, vitamins and fat-soluble aromatic compounds into water, turning otherwise incompatible phases into a stable, homogeneous system. This is why the ingredient is a staple in food manufacturing (ice cream, sauces, glazes), pharmaceutical production (solubilizing oil-based extracts and vitamin complexes for oral formulas), household chemicals (gels, sprays, car care liquids) and cosmetic manufacturing for toners, fragrance sprays, serums and shampoos. The product belongs to the Emulsifiers section, which gathers compatible components for building emulsions of varying complexity.

The 1 kg pack size is aimed at workshop and conveyor-line production, where consistent raw material supply and predictable batch-to-batch behavior matter most. Polysorbate 80 tolerates long-term storage at room temperature in a closed container away from direct sunlight, requires no special transport conditions, and is easy to dose even in large volumes thanks to its fluid consistency. In formulas it can be added either to the cold or the warm phase, typically at 40-60°C when other emulsifiers with higher melting points are present in the recipe. A common dosage for solubilizing essential oils in water-based products ranges from 2 to 4 parts emulsifier per 1 part oil, while for oil-in-water emulsions the typical share is 1 to 5% of total product mass, depending on the required stability and viscosity.

Tween 80 pairs well with other emulsifiers and stabilizers, reinforcing their performance in multiphase systems. Combined with Emulsifier ERCAMULS AE V it produces stable, pleasantly textured cream emulsions, while pairing it with ERCANOL M14 allows technologists to build denser, richer systems for industrial-scale skincare lines. To add conditioning and moisture-binding properties, formulators often introduce Chitosan PCA 10 g into the water phase, which works alongside solubilized oils without clouding the finished product.

During production it is worth remembering that excessive emulsifier concentration can leave a product feeling sticky or reduce foaming in cleansing formulas, so dosage should be tested on small trial batches before scaling up to the full 1 kg volume. The substance remains stable across a wide pH range, resists hard water and keeps its function even in the presence of electrolytes, making it a reliable choice for household chemicals and technical solutions alike.
