Description

Application and formulation

  • Optimal proportion of oil phase in emulsions: 30 – 40%
  • Acid and electrolyte additives can destabilize the emulsion – they need to be dosed carefully
  • For additional emulsion stability, it is recommended to add:
    • 3 – 5% glycerin
    • 0.5% magnesium sulfate (heptahydrate) in the aqueous phase
  • Consistency stabilization: addition of hydrogenated castor oil, beeswax or high melting point waxes may be necessary
  • Esters of natural fatty acids may be used, but must not constitute more than half of the oil phase.

Preparation process

  1. Precise formulation tuning – phase ratio and oil phase viscosity are key to stability
  2. Gradual addition of the aqueous phase – added to the oil phase with intensive mixing
  3. Emulsion homogenization – the initial pre-emulsion is homogenized to achieve a stable dispersion
  4. Final homogenization below 30°C – ensures proper recrystallization of waxes and long-term stability

Recommended emulsifying equipment

  • High-speed laboratory and industrial mixers
  • Planetary mixers and rotor-stator homogenizers for uniform mixing
  • Heat and homogenize before use.
