EMULSIFIER
ETHOXYLATES & GLYCOLS
Emulsifiers are the main ingredients in the world of emulsions. They are surfactants with an HLB on which depends the type of emulsions it makes.
The art of choosing the right emulsifier for each occasion is a complex process, given the continuous growth of this family of products on the market.
We recommend studying and understanding each emulsifier very well in order to choose the right one for each product.
Another option is to find the most versatile one, which should easily resolve any challenge. The HLB, the % of active matter, or the type of emulsion obtained, from the oily or aqueous external phase, is important.
