BIT-20

Our BIT-20 is a high-purity, nonionic surfactant chemically known as PEG-20 Cetyl Stearyl Ether or Ceteareth-20. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or paste. It is synthesized by the ethoxylation of a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols, resulting in a molecule with a high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB value of ~15.3). This high HLB makes it an excellent oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier, solubilizer, and detergent, widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.

    Pharmaceuticals

    O/W Creams & Lotions:​​ As a primary emulsifier for topical drug delivery systems. Solubilizer:​​ For poorly water-soluble drugs in liquid formulations.Formulation Aid:​​ Acts as a stabilizer in injectables, ophthalmics, and topical products by binding trace metals that can catalyze drug degradation. Anticoagulant:​​ In blood collection tubes (as an alternative to heparin).

  • Cosmetics & Personal Care
    Cosmetics & Personal Care

    Used as the primary surfactant in amino acid-based cleansers, its mild characteristics suit sensitive skin and produce fine, long-lasting foam.Solubilizer:​​ For perfumes and essential oils in clear gels and toners. Stabilizer:​​ Prevents color and fragrance changes in shampoos, lotions, and creams.

  •  Liquid Detergents & Cleaners
    Liquid Detergents & Cleaners

    As a primary non-ionic surfactant in liquid dishwashing detergents, laundry liquids, and all-purpose cleaners. It provides excellent grease-cutting power, foam stability, and is mild on hands.
