Select the right grade (industrial/cosmetic) per your application.
Add O-30 to the oil or water phase (3-8% of total formulation, adjust as needed) at 40-60°C.
Stir gently for 5-10 minutes until fully dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous.
Avoid high-temperature (>80°C) exposure to preserve performance.
Follow these steps for stable, high-quality formulations.
FAQ
A1: Cosmetic-grade meets strict safety standards for skin contact (low impurities), while industrial-grade prioritizes cost-effectiveness for cleaners/auxiliaries. Choose based on whether your product touches human skin.
A2: Yes. The recommended 3-8% is a baseline—increase to 10% for hard-to-emulsify oils, or reduce to 2% for mild formulations. Test small batches first to ensure stability.
A3: High temps (>80°C) may break down its molecular structure, weakening emulsification. This leads to unstable formulations (e.g., separation) and reduces product performance.
A4: Absolutely. It blends well with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants. It enhances overall formulation stability without causing clumping or performance conflicts.
Q5: How to store O-30 to keep it effective?
A5: Store in a cool (15-30°C), dry, and sealed container away from direct sunlight. Proper storage prevents moisture absorption and ensures a 24-month shelf life.
