Performance & Applications
Specification | Performance and Specifications |
T-20 | 1. Easily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and various other solvents; insoluble in mineral oils. It exhibits emulsifying, diffusing, solubilizing, and stabilizing properties. 2. This product is harmless to the human body, non-irritating, and primarily used in the food industry for making cakes, ice cream, shortening, etc. 3. In other applications, it can be used as an emulsifier for mineral oils, a solvent for dyes, an emulsifier for cosmetics, a stabilizer for foam plastics, and an emulsifier, dispersant, and stabilizer for pharmaceuticals, as well as an additive for photographic emulsions. |
T-40 | 1. Easily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and various other solvents; insoluble in both animal and mineral oils. Used as an o/w emulsifier, solubilizer, stabilizer, dispersant, antistatic agent, and lubricant. |
T-60 | 1. Easily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and various other solvents; it is not soluble in animal or mineral oils. It boasts excellent emulsifying properties, and also serves as a wetting, foaming, and dispersing agent. 2. Used as emulsifiers, dispersants, and stabilizers in the manufacturing of food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and water-based coatings. 3. Used as a softener and anti-static agent in the textile industry, it is a component of polypropylene nitrile spinning oil and a softener for fiber post-processing. It eliminates static electricity from fibers, improves their softness, and imparts excellent dyeing properties to the fibers. |
T-80 | 1. Soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol; insoluble in mineral oil. Used as an emulsifier, dispersant, wetting agent, solvent enhancer, and stabilizer in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. 2. Used as a stabilizer and foaming aid in the production of polyurethane foam plastics; serves as an antistatic agent in synthetic fibers and as an intermediate in fiber oil agents; acts as a wetting and dispersing agent in the manufacturing of photographic film; effectively emulsifies silicone oil in fabric waterproofing processes; also used as an oil and water-soluble emulsifying agent for nylon and viscose curtain yarns, often mixed with S-80. 3. Used as an oil field emulsifier, wax inhibitor, heavy oil wetting agent, drag reducer, and near-wellbore treatment agent; also used in precision machine tool coolant and lubricant formulations. |
