Usage & Handling Guide

Add Emulsifier O-20 to oil or water phase (3-8% of total formulation, adjust per need) at 40-60℃.
Stir gently for 5-10 mins until fully dissolved; avoid excessive stirring to prevent foam.
Mix the two phases slowly, then stir at 300-500 rpm for 15-20 mins to form a stable emulsion.
Cool to room temp naturally. For sensitive products (e.g., cosmetics), test a small batch first.

FAQ

Q: What's the recommended dosage of Emulsifier O-20 in different products?
A: Typically 3-8% of the total formulation. For cosmetics (e.g., lotions), use 3-5%; for detergents or paints, increase to 5-8%. Adjust based on your specific emulsion stability needs.
Q: Can Emulsifier O-20 be used in food-grade products?
A: Yes, but only choose our food-grade variant. It complies with food safety standards and is suitable for food emulsification (e.g., dairy drinks), avoid using industrial-grade for food.
Q: How to store Emulsifier O-20 to prevent quality degradation?
A: Store in a cool (15-25℃), dry, and well-ventilated area. Seal the package tightly after use to avoid moisture absorption or contamination; shelf life is 24 months under proper storage.
Q: Will Emulsifier O-20 cause foam during use, and how to reduce it?
A: Excessive stirring may cause foam. Stir gently when dissolving (avoid high-speed mixing) and control stirring speed at 300-500 rpm during emulsion formation to minimize foam.
