T-MAZ 20 FCC - BASF

T-MAZ 20 FCC - BASF is a sorbitan monolaurate that has been ethoxylated with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide to give a water soluble, oil and water emulsifier. This product is one of a group of ethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters, which are often referred to as Polysorbates. This surfactant is a mixture of partial esters of sorbitol and its anhydrides made from fatty acids, primarily lauric, which is then reacted with ethylene oxide to make it hydrophilic in nature. T-MAZ 20 FCC - BASF can be used as a solubilizer and emulsifier of oils and fragrances, as a wetting agent, viscosity modifier, anti-stat, stabilizer and dispersing agent. T-MAZ surfactants can also be used in the textile and metalworking industries.
