ECO Tween™ 40 MBAL is a 100% bio-based ethoxylated sorbitan ester derived from a natural fatty acid (palmitic acid). This ethoxylate is highly efficient in creating oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, especially when combined with its non-ethoxylated form, Span 40. ECO Tween 40 finds application in various fields, including hard surface cleaning, industrial and institutional cleaning, vehicle care, and waxes and polishes.
