Emulsifier
Formula:
C36H70CaO4
An emulsifier is a surface-active agent (surfactant) that promotes the creation and stabilization of emulsions from immiscible liquids (e.g., oil and water). Depending on the type, it is a viscous liquid, paste, or powder with a specific mild odor. In the industrial sector, it acts as a crucial basic raw material. Thanks to its ability to lower surface tension at the phase interface, emulsifiers are widely used in the production of cosmetics, food products, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals, preventing the separation of finished products.
Applications
Paints, Coatings, and Polymers: Used in the synthesis of water-borne paints, varnishes, and primers. It ensures polymerization stability, improves pigment compatibility with the binder base, and enhances coating adhesion.
Construction Chemicals and Bitumens: Utilized to produce highly stable road bitumen emulsions, waterproofing mastics, mold release agents, formwork lubricants, and modifying additives for concrete.
Household and Industrial Chemicals: Formulated into concentrated detergents, car care products, degreasing solutions, and technical cleaners, facilitating the highly effective removal of oil and grease contaminants.
Textile and Lubricant Industries: Applied for emulsifying mineral and vegetable oils in the manufacture of textile lubricants, fabric finishes, and high-stability metalworking fluids (soluble cutting oils).
Key Advantages
High Emulsifying Power: Rapidly forms fine-particle emulsions with long-term stability. Effectively prevents coalescence and phase separation, even under adverse environmental and operational conditions.
Wide-Range Stability: Retains high performance and emulsifying properties across wide temperature intervals, as well as in highly acidic, alkaline, and hard water environments.
Processability Enhancement: Enhances surface wetting, improves flowability, and ensures smooth, uniform application of finished products, thereby extending overall shelf life and preserving premium product appearance.
Eco-Friendliness and Safety: Features a high degree of biodegradability, is non-toxic at working concentrations, emits no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and is environmentally safe when disposed of according to regulations.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in a tightly closed original container in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, open flames, and heat sources.
- Optimal storage temperature range: from 5°C to 25°C (at lower temperatures, thickening, cloudiness, or crystallization may occur, which is reversible upon gentle heating).
- The guaranteed shelf life is 12–24 months from the date of manufacture (depending on the specific brand and subject to compliance with storage conditions).
