Alkest TW 20 — Industrial Grade Surfactant for Global Manufacturing

Our Alkest TW 20 industrial grade nonionic surfactant is the versatile emulsifier for emulsion polymerization and chemical manufacturing applications across global industrial markets. As the workhorse nonionic surfactant for polymer synthesis, textile processing, and agrochemical formulation, polysorbate 20 is indispensable in modern chemical manufacturing supply chains.

Key Industrial Applications

• Emulsion Polymerization: Primary emulsifier for acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-acrylic latex synthesis — controls particle size distribution and latex stability in waterborne coatings and adhesives
• Textile Processing: Wetting agent and emulsifier for textile auxiliaries, dye leveling, and fiber lubricant formulations
• Agrochemical Formulations: Emulsifier for pesticide EC (emulsifiable concentrate) and EW (emulsion in water) formulations — improves active ingredient dispersion and tank mix compatibility
• Metalworking Fluids: Co-emulsifier in soluble oil and semi-synthetic coolant formulations for machining operations

Global Supply & Logistics

• Bulk supply capability: 200kg drums, 1000kg IBC totes, ISO tank containers, and flexitanks
• Strategic warehousing in China, UAE, and the Netherlands for rapid global delivery
• Consistent quality — ISO 9001:2015 certified with full batch traceability
• Custom packaging and labeling for private label and distributor requirements
