CategorySurfactants & Emulsifiers

Description Polysorbate 20 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used as a pharmaceutical excipient for stabilizing formulations and enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of drugs. It functions by reducing surface and interfacial tension, which helps to create and maintain stable emulsions and suspensions, critical for drug delivery systems. This excipient is particularly valuable in formulating biopharmaceuticals, such as protein and peptide drugs, as it can prevent protein aggregation by stabilizing protein structures in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, Polysorbate 20 is often used in the preparation of ophthalmic, oral, and topical products due to its non-toxic and less irritating nature, providing manufacturers with a versatile and effective tool to improve the stability and usability of various pharmaceutical products.
