Emulsifiers for Textiles

Polysorbate 20 Description — Tween 20, the Highest-HLB Nonionic Solubilizer in Its Family At Quimiconsult we offer Polysorbate 20, also known as Tween 20, polisorbato 20 (its Spanish name), polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate, PEG-20 sorbitan monolaurate or by its INCI name Polysorbate 20, a multifunctional nonionic surfactant widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food, cleaning, agrochemical, textile, paint and animal care industries for its unique combination of properties: the highest HLB value in the polysorbate family (between 16 and 17), excellent ability to solubilize oils, flavors and fragrances in aqueous media, stability over a wide pH range (acidic and alkaline), no reactivity with ionic agents, complete water miscibility, broad chemical compatibility and a safe industrial handling profile. It is a yellow liquid at room temperature, practically odorless, soluble or dispersible in water, with a hydroxyl number of 100, a pH of 6.0 to 6.5 (5% aqueous solution), ma…

Polysorbate 60 Description — Tween 60, the Benchmark Nonionic Emulsifier for Creams and Lotions At Quimiconsult we offer Polysorbate 60, also known as Tween 60, polisorbato 60 (its Spanish name), polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate, PEG-20 sorbitan monostearate or by its INCI name Polysorbate 60, a nonionic surfactant widely used in the cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical, cleaning, textile and manufacturing industries for its combination of properties: excellent ability to emulsify fatty phases with body and consistency, stability over a wide pH range (acidic and alkaline), no reactivity with ionic agents, water dispersibility, broad chemical compatibility and a safe handling profile. It is a paste at room temperature with a characteristic odor, soluble or dispersible in water, with a hydroxyl value of 81 to 96, a maximum acid value of 2.2 and a maximum free ethylene oxide content of 10 ppm, parameters that guarantee consistent quality and predictable formulation performance. Unli…

High-purity industrial-grade polyethylene glycol for versatile formulations At Quimiconsult we offer PEG 400 (polyethylene glycol 400), industrial grade, a high-purity, translucent liquid polymer with 100 % active content, designed to integrate efficiently into formulations that require compatibility, stability, viscosity control and reliable humectant properties. Its nonionic chemical structure, hygroscopic nature and complete water solubility make it a key functional ingredient in industrial, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, textile, ceramic and technical lubrication processes. The PEG 400 available from Quimiconsult stands out for its ability to act simultaneously as a solvent, plasticizer, lubricant, dispersant and wetting agent, improving system stability, easing the incorporation of raw materials and optimizing the performance of the finished product. Its low volatility, favorable toxicological profile and compatibility with many organic and inorganic compounds make it a safe and highl…

Dioctil Sulfosuccinato de Sodio 70% Description — Anionic Wetting Agent for Agrochemical Use (Surface Tension-Reducing Blend of Anionic Surfactants)   At Quimiconsult we supply Dioctil Sulfosuccinato de Sodio 70%, an anionic wetting agent for agrochemical use formulated as a blend of anionic surfactants. It acts as a surface tension reducer and a high-performance wetting agent: it is a clear, slightly hazy liquid with exceptionally low surface tension (25.00 to 26.50 dynes/cm), excellent uniformity and flow, rapid absorption into the substrate, and proven thermal and pH stability in water-based and solvent-based systems. The core function of Dioctil Sulfosuccinato de Sodio 70% is to reduce the surface tension of agrochemical formulations and spray solutions, improving the wettability of leaf surfaces, the penetration of the active ingredient into plant tissue and the uniform coverage of the treated area. Its high surfactant activity allows low formulation doses (0.05 to 0.8% of the to…

NF 70 Description — Nonylphenol Ethoxylate with 70 Moles of Ethylene Oxide (Extremely Hydrophilic Nonionic Surfactant)   At Quimiconsult we offer NF 70, also known as nonylphenol ethoxylate 70 moles, nonylphenol with 70 units of ethylene oxide, NP-70, NPE-70, nonoxynol-70 or nonyl phenol 70 EO, an industrial grade nonionic surfactant with a very high HLB (extreme hydrophilicity) made from a nonylphenol molecule with 70 units of ethylene oxide. It is the grade with the highest ethoxylation and highest HLB in the NF family (around 18 to 19), which gives it extreme hydrophilicity and irreplaceable performance as a maximum-efficiency protective colloid and steric stabilizer, very high HLB emulsifier and stabilizer for demanding aqueous systems, especially in emulsion polymerization and in applications that require the greatest electrolyte tolerance and colloidal stability.   It is typically supplied as a light-colored, nonionic waxy solid (flake, pastille or paste) or, depending on the gr…
