Tetrasodium EDTA
v
Tetrasodium EDTA is the tetrasodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a powerful chelating agent widely used in industrial, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications. It effectively binds metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, preventing their interference in formulations. Its ability to enhance stability, improve efficacy, and prevent microbial growth makes it a multifunctional ingredient in a variety of chemical products.
Turpentine Oil
Turpentine Oil is a volatile essential oil distilled from the resin of pine trees (primarily Pinus species). It is a colorless to pale yellow fluid with a strong, distinctive odor, composed mainly of terpenes such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. Traditionally used as a solvent and medicinal agent, turpentine oil has broad applications across industrial, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors. Its natural origin and unique chemical profile also make it valuable in fragrance, flavoring, and organic synthesis.
Tween 20 (Polysorbate 20)
Tween 20, also known as Polysorbate 20, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the esterification of sorbitan (from sorbitol) with fatty acids, followed by ethoxylation. It is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid that is completely soluble in water, making it ideal for emulsifying oil-in-water systems. Tween 20 is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, biotechnology, and industrial formulations due to its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, and stabilizing properties.
Tween 60 (Polysorbate 60)
Tween 60, or Polysorbate 60, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier synthesized from sorbitan monostearate and ethylene oxide. It is part of the polysorbate family and is used to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions in food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. It appears as a yellowish, viscous liquid or waxy paste at room temperature. Known for its high Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB), Tween 60 is ideal for solubilizing fats, oils, and vitamins in aqueous solutions and enhancing product texture and shelf life.
Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80)
Tween 80, or Polysorbate 80, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the ethoxylation of sorbitan monooleate. It is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid with a mild odor and is completely soluble in water and many polar solvents. Tween 80 is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, and industrial applications. Its high Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB ~15) makes it particularly effective in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions and solubilizing lipophilic substances.
Vanillin
Vanillin is the primary flavor compound extracted from vanilla beans or produced synthetically, known for its characteristic sweet, creamy, and warm vanilla aroma. It is widely used as a flavoring agent in food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, and also as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and perfumes.
