"Tween" is the trade name of the non-ionic surfactant series of poly sorbitol (Polysorbate). Chemically, it belongs to the polyoxyethylene addition product of sorbitan fatty acid esters. Common varieties include Tween 20 (lauryl ester), Tween 40 (palmitic acid ester), Tween 60 (stearic acid ester), Tween 80 (oleic acid ester) and Tween 85 (trioleate). Among them, Tween 80 is the most widely used. Its appearance is a pale yellow to amber oily liquid, soluble in water, and has excellent emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing and stabilizing functions. Tween is widely used in multiple industrial fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, textiles, petroleum, etc.
Tween Products Application
I. Food and Beverage Industry
Emulsifiers and stabilizers: The Tween series is an excellent water-in-oil (O/W) type emulsifier and is widely used in products such as ice cream, bread, pastries, candies, margarine, seasonings, etc. In ice cream, it can prevent ice crystal formation and improve the texture; in bread, it can enhance the gas retention of the dough, make the structure uniform, and increase the volume; in chocolate-covered cream and marzipan, it has a significant anti-frosting effect.
Beverages and dairy products: Used in products such as milk-containing beverages, plant protein beverages, and fruit and vegetable juice beverages, the maximum usage amount is generally 0.5 - 2.0g/kg (based on the ready-to-drink state). It is also used in whipping cream and fortified milk.
II. Medicine and Biopharmaceuticals (This is Twain's most core and high-end application field)
Protein protectant: Tween 80 and Tween 20 are the most widely used surfactants in biological drug preparations. In 131 commercial biological drug products, approximately 87% contain Tween components. It can prevent protein denaturation, aggregation, surface adsorption and flocculation during storage and transportation by exerting an interface competitive effect, thereby maintaining the biological activity of proteins. The commonly used concentration of Tween in biological drugs is relatively low, usually ranging from 0.001% to 0.1%.
Drug excipients: Used as solubilizers, emulsifiers and stabilizers for injections, oral solutions, and topical preparations. They can increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs and are used for preparing water-in-oil emulsions or creams.
III. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Emulsification and Solubilization: Widely used as oil-in-water emulsifiers for creams and lotions in cosmetics, as well as solubilizers for oil-soluble components such as fragrances and essential oils.
Multifunctional additives: Used as viscosity regulators, wetting agents and stabilizers in shampoos and body washes. Help evenly disperse powders in foundation and sunscreen products, improving skin feel and spreadability.
IV. Industrial Sector
Petroleum and Chemicals: Used as a wetting agent, anti-waxing agent and viscosity reducer in oilfield drilling mud; used as an emulsifier and dispersant in industries such as pesticides, paints, coatings, and emulsion explosives.
Textile and Dyeing: Used as processing aids for fibers, anti-static agents, softeners, lubricants, and solvents for dyes.
