How to Use ?
Slowly add the water phase into the oil phase, and then stir the mixture
quickly till uniform. Speeding up the stirring can improve the stability of the
emulsion system.
l✸ Stir the oil and emulsifier thoroughly before adding water to emulsify.
l✸ If all the ingredients are liquid, emulsification can be operated at room
temperature without homogenizer. Quick stirring can attain stable emulsion.
Electrolytes, preferably NaCl at a level of 0.5-2% should be added to the
water phase to attain storage stability. Adding some antifreeze agents such
as propanediol and glycerin can improve the antifreeze effect of the
finished product. Increasing the water proportion can improve
viscosity of the system.
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended dosage is 1-4% as major emulsifier, and 0.1-1.5% as
auxiliary emulsifier (according to the total amount of the formulation).
