Adrestia Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I feel bad for Tween 80; it's been used in bad stuff, but it's not bad on its own. [img]http://www.wcaslab.com/gif/Tween80_molecule.gif[/img] from "http://www.examiner.com/healthy-living-in-national/food-additives-101-how-is-polysorbate-80-made" Polysorbate 80 is a common emulsifier/surfactant that is used in a wide variety of products. You will find it in cleaning products, motor oils and lubricants, cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, food, vitamin supplements and even vaccines. Polysorbate 80 is basically an organic compound of acids and alcohols (esters) of a combined molecules (copolymer) of glycerin (a sweet syrupy alcohol) and a polyhydric alcohol (a radical attached to a petroleum product). A radical is an atom that contains 1 or more unpaired electrons causing it to be highly reactive in most cases. These esters are produced by reacting the copolymer with a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid donating compound. The acid radical donated is a fatty acid radical. you can buy cosmetic grade Tween 80 here: "http://www.bulkactives.com/polysorbate80.htm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrestia Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 CO2 has also received a lot of bad press. [img]http://www.gcsescience.com/Carbon-Dioxide-Structure.gif[/img] The funny thing is, I think the response to the whole CO2 - global warming thing has been mostly good - I like the idea of conserving resources. The science does not support the idea that CO2 is a major driver or climate change. from: "http://www.drroyspencer.com/global-warming-101/" It has been calculated theoretically that, if there are no other changes in the climate system, a doubling of the atmospheric CO[sub]2[/sub] concentration would cause less than 1 deg C of surface warming (about 1 deg. F). This is NOT a controversial statement…it is well understood by climate scientists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
