ECO Tween 23 is part of Croda’s ECO range of surfactants that are 100% bio-based and 100% renewable. Produced using renewable energy, ECO Tween 23 has a lower carbon footprint but identical performance to the petrochemical-based Tween 23. ECO Tween 23 is based on the well-established Tween 20 polysorbate technology but with a different number of moles of ethylene oxide (EO). This provides differentiated performance whilst maintaining the preferred ecological and toxicological profile of Tween 20. ECO Tween 23 can be used as an agricultural adjuvant or a high HLB emulsifier particularly suited to systemic active ingredients as it provides superior penetration and humectancy. It is also suitable for use as an inert ingredient in combination with permitted active pesticidal ingredients according to US NOP and OMRI-Listed grades are available.
