Description
Tween® 20 (Polysorbate 20) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier widely used in laboratory, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. This ready-to-use 1-liter solution is classified as Non-Regulated (UN NR) for transport, simplifying handling and storage in research and industrial settings.
Tween® 20 is highly effective at stabilizing emulsions, solubilizing hydrophobic compounds, and reducing surface tension, making it ideal for cell culture, protein solubilization, vaccine formulation, and cosmetic products. Its non-ionic nature ensures compatibility with a broad range of formulations without introducing ionic interference.
