Functions & Applications

Cosmetic & Hair Care

Tween 60 can be effortlessly incorporated into advanced personal care formulations such as moisturizing creams, toners, nourishing shampoos, and targeted scalp essences to ensure emulsion stability and silky skin-feel.

Food & Pharmaceutical Fields

Food-grade Tween 60 acts as a highly effective stabilizer in ice creams, bakery products, and confectionery items. Pharma-grade Tween 60 solubilizes functional active ingredients within oral liquid drugs, topical products, and ophthalmic drops to optimize biological absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the purity specification of your Tween 60?
Our Tween 60 is strictly tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and is supplied with a purity specification of 98% or higher, matching standard pharmaceutical and food monograph criteria.
Q2: What is the main chemical difference between Tween 60 and Tween 80?
The key structural difference lies in their fatty acid chains: Tween 60 is based primarily on stearic acid (a saturated C18 fatty acid), while Tween 80 is derived from oleic acid (an unsaturated C18 fatty acid). This gives each surfactant distinct rheological and emulsification behaviors across varying oil-phase formulas.
Q3: Can I request a sample of Tween 60 before mass ordering?
Yes, sample units are available for laboratory validation and production trials. Contact us detailing your intended application and sample volume requirement, and our team will coordinate product availability, delivery times, and shipping terms.
Q4: How should Tween 60 be stored to retain optimal shelf life?
Tween 60 should be stored tightly sealed in its original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, open flames, and strong oxidizing substances.
Q5: Does your Tween 60 fulfill international food and pharmaceutical compliance standards?
Yes, our food-grade and pharma-grade Tween 60 production pathways comply with current international quality and safety benchmarks, supported with full batch documentation including Certificate of Analysis and relevant industry safety dossiers.
