N-[2-Methyl-4-(oxiranylmethoxy)phenyl]-N-(oxiranylmethyl)oxiranemethamine - Introduction
Triglycidyl amino-m-cresol, also known as TWEEN-80, is a non-ionic surfactant. It is a fatty alcohol glycoside compound formed by the esterification of glycerol, which contains amino and cresol groups in the molecular structure.
TWEEN-80 have the following properties:
1. good solubility: TWEEN-80 can be miscible with water, with a variety of organic solvents such as alcohol, ether and aromatic hydrocarbons can also be miscible.
2. surface activity: TWEEN-80 can reduce the tension on the surface of the liquid and help to mix the liquid with other substances.
3. Stability: The TWEEN-80 has good thermal stability and can be used at higher temperatures.
4. Emulsification: TWEEN-80 can be used to prepare emulsions, which can suspend immiscible liquids together to form a milky stable system.
TWEEN-80 uses a wide range:
1. food industry: as an emulsifier and stabilizer, commonly used in the production of lactic acid drinks, cold drinks, ice cream and so on.
2. Pharmaceutical industry: used as a drug carrier to improve the solubility and bioavailability of drugs in the body.
3. cosmetics industry: as emulsifier, thickener and surfactant, can be used in all kinds of cosmetics.
4. biological engineering: used in cell culture medium and protein extraction process, can enhance cell growth and metabolism.
The preparation method of TWEEN-80 is mainly through the esterification of glycerol and fatty alcohol, and then with phenol by ammonolysis reaction.
Pay attention to the following safety information when using the TWEEN-80:
1. avoid prolonged exposure to the skin and eyes, such as accidental contact, should be promptly rinsed with water.
2. Avoid swallowing or inhaling. If discomfort occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
3. It has certain biodegradability to the environment, but it still needs to be used carefully to avoid environmental pollution.
4. During storage and use, avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids to avoid dangerous reactions.
In summary, TWEEN-80 is a multifunctional nonionic surfactant with good solubility, surface activity, stability and emulsification, and has a wide range of applications in the fields of food, medicine, cosmetics and bioengineering.
