Tween
Tween is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in laboratory research, chemical preparation, biochemical applications, and scientific studies. Also known as Polysorbate, it is widely used as an emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilising agent to help stabilise mixtures of water and oil-based substances.
Product Specifications
Tween refers to a group of non-ionic surfactants commonly known as Polysorbates. They are derived from sorbitan esters and ethoxylated compounds and are widely used as emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, and solubilising agents. Common types include Tween 20 (Polysorbate 20), Tween 40 (Polysorbate 40), Tween 60 (Polysorbate 60), and Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80). Each type has different chemical properties and applications.
Tween is valued for its ability to reduce surface tension and improve the mixing and stability of substances that do not readily combine, particularly oil and water. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of emulsions, protein and enzyme research, microbiological studies, sample preparation, cell culture applications, and biochemical experiments. It is also used in pharmaceutical formulations, cosmetic preparations, food-related research, and specialised industrial applications.
Its non-ionic nature and surfactant properties make Tween useful in biochemistry, microbiology, analytical chemistry, and general laboratory research. The appropriate Polysorbate type, grade, concentration, and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application, as different Tween products are not necessarily interchangeable.
KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.
Safety Note: Tween products are generally considered to have relatively low toxicity under normal laboratory handling conditions. However, direct contact may cause irritation in sensitive individuals, particularly with prolonged exposure. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin, and prevent unnecessary ingestion or inhalation of aerosols. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
