Product Advantage
1. Exceptional Emulsification Efficiency Backed by Data
Our EH-15 achieves 98% emulsion stability rate in 72-hour continuous testing (test standard: GB/T 11543-2008), far exceeding the industry average of 85%. It reduces phase separation risk by 60% compared to conventional emulsifiers, ensuring formulations maintain consistency even in temperature fluctuations (5-45℃). This efficiency cuts down formulation adjustment time by 30% for manufacturers, boosting production throughput.
2. Ultra-High Purity & Strict Quality Control
Produced via a 5-step purification process (including molecular distillation and activated carbon adsorption), EH-15 has an impurity content of <0.3% — lower than the industry standard of <0.5%. Our factory holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, with 100% batch sampling inspection (each batch undergoes 12 quality checks, from raw material to final product). Over the past 5 years, our product qualification rate has remained at 99.8%, ensuring consistent performance for customers.
3. Wide Temperature Adaptability & Long-Term Stability
EH-15 maintains stable performance in a temperature range of -10℃ to 80℃ (tested via 1000-hour thermal aging experiment), while most similar products only work stably between 0℃ and 60℃. Its shelf life reaches 24 months under normal storage conditions, 50% longer than competitors’ 16-month average. This adaptability makes it suitable for use in both cold-chain cosmetic products and high-temperature industrial cleaning processes.
4. Eco-Friendly Formula with Low Toxicity
Compliant with EU REACH Regulation (no SVHC substances detected) and US FDA standards (for cosmetic-grade), EH-15 has an LD50 value of >5000 mg/kg (oral, rat test), classifying it as "practically non-toxic." It biodegrades by 92% within 28 days (per OECD 301B test), meeting global environmental protection requirements. This allows customers to use it in eco-friendly product lines, expanding market access to regions with strict environmental regulations.
5. Customizable Technical Support & Fast R&D Response
We offer tailored solutions: our R&D team (15+ engineers with 8+ years of experience) can adjust EH-15's properties (e.g., HLB value) within 7 working days to match specific customer formulations. In the past year, we've successfully developed 12 customized versions for clients in the paint and agricultural sectors, with a 95% customer satisfaction rate. Additionally, we provide 24/7 technical consultation, resolving customer issues within 4 hours on average.

Product Uses
1. Cosmetics & Personal Care
In creams, lotions, and shampoos, EH-15 acts as an emulsifier to blend oil and water phases. It enhances product texture, prevents separation, and boosts ingredient solubility—like helping active skincare components (e.g., hyaluronic acid) disperse evenly, improving absorption and user experience.
2. Industrial Cleaning
Added to metal cleaners and degreasers, it lowers surface tension, enabling the solution to penetrate dirt quickly. It stabilizes cleaning formulations, ensuring consistent degreasing efficiency even for heavy oil stains on machinery, reducing cleaning time and water usage.
3. Paints & Coatings
As a dispersant in water-based paints, EH-15 keeps pigments from settling, ensuring uniform color and smooth application. It also improves paint adhesion to surfaces (e.g., walls, metal), preventing flaking and extending the coating’s service life.
4. Agriculture
Mixed into pesticide formulations, it enhances spray adhesion on crop leaves (reducing runoff) and helps pesticides penetrate pest cuticles. This boosts pesticide efficacy by 20-30%, lowering usage amounts while ensuring better pest control.
5. Chemical Processing
In emulsion polymerization (e.g., for synthetic resins) and lubricant production, it stabilizes emulsions during reactions, ensuring product quality consistency. It also improves lubricant flowability, reducing friction in mechanical parts.
Product Operate Guide
To use EH-15: Add it to your formulation (oil or water phase, based on HLB 13.5-14.5) at 25-50℃, stir at 300-500 rpm for 5-10 mins until fully dissolved. Recommended dosage: 0.5-5% of total formulation (adjust per application, e.g., 1-3% for cosmetics, 2-5% for industrial cleaning). Avoid mixing with strong acids/bases. Store in sealed containers at 5-30℃, away from direct sunlight.
FAQ
Q1: What if EH-15 doesn't dissolve fully in my formulation?
A1: Ensure the temperature is 25-50℃ (too low slows dissolution) and stir at 300-500 rpm for 5-10 mins. If issues persist, pre-dilute EH-15 with a small amount of water/oil (matching your phase) before adding to the main formulation.
Q2: Can EH-15 replace other emulsifiers like Span/Tween in my cosmetic products?
A2: Yes, but adjust dosage. EH-15 (HLB 13.5-14.5) is more hydrophilic than Span (low HLB). Test 1-3% EH-15 first, compare emulsion stability with your current formula, and tweak as needed for optimal texture.
Q3: Is EH-15 safe for use in food-contact cleaning products?
A3: Our food-grade EH-15 meets FDA standards (LD50 >5000 mg/kg) and is safe for food-contact cleaning. Confirm the "food-grade" label when ordering—industrial-grade EH-15 is not suitable for this scenario.
Q4: How long does EH-15 remain effective if stored properly?
A4: When stored in sealed containers at 5-30℃ (away from sunlight), EH-15 maintains full effectiveness for 24 months. After opening, use it within 6 months to avoid moisture absorption affecting performance.
