Polysorbate 20 (E432) is typically supplied as a 100% active material, though it may contain up to 3% water due to its hygroscopic nature. It is known for being non-toxic, non-irritating, and extremely mild, making it ideal for sensitive applications.

🔬 Chemical Description

Polysorbate 20 is a complex mixture of laurate esters of sorbitol and sorbitan (sorbitol anhydrides), predominantly consisting of monoesters condensed with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide.

⚙️ Production Process

E432 Polysorbate 20 is produced through:

Ethoxylation of sorbitol followed by esterification with lauric acid

or

Esterification of sorbitan with lauric acid followed by ethoxylation

This process ensures high purity and consistent performance across industrial applications.
