Polysorbate grades for commercial formulation
Polysorbates
Source polysorbate grades for food and beverage formulation by exact identity, composition, physical form and application requirements.
Supplier-defined grades3 sourcing formatsCommercial applications
What it is
Understand the ingredient or product system.
Polysorbate is a family name rather than a complete product specification. Polysorbate 20, 60, 65 and 80 have different identities and functional profiles and should not be treated as interchangeable.
A sourcing request should identify the exact polysorbate number, intended food or beverage application, physical-form requirements, use conditions and destination market. Supplier documentation must confirm identity, purity criteria and suitability for the intended use.

Polysorbates FAQ
Are all polysorbates interchangeable?
No. The polysorbate number identifies a different material with its own composition and functional profile.
Which polysorbate should be requested?
Specify the exact identity required by the formulation or approved specification; a generic polysorbate request is not enough to select a grade.
What should a polysorbate RFQ include?
Include the polysorbate number, application, process, annual volume, package, destination and required documentation.
