Usage & Handling Guide

For Emulsifier OP-3 use: Add 1-3% to oil phase, stir 10-15 mins at 40-60°C. Slowly add water phase while mixing (300-500 rpm) until emulsion forms. Avoid high temperatures (>80°C). Rinse equipment with organic solvents post-use. Store sealed in cool, dry areas.

FAQ

Q: What is the recommended storage period for Emulsifier OP-3?
A: It remains stable for 24 months when stored in sealed containers at 5-30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures to maintain performance.
Q: Can it be mixed with strong acids or alkalis?
A: It's stable in weakly acidic (pH 5-6) or alkaline (pH 8-10) systems. Avoid strong acids/alkalis (pH <3 or >12) as they may degrade its emulsifying properties.
Q: Is it suitable for food-related applications?
A: No, Emulsifier OP-3 is designed for industrial use only, not for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic products with direct skin contact.
Q: What if it contacts skin/eyes accidentally?
A: Rinse skin with soap and water; flush eyes with plenty of water for 15+ minutes. Seek medical help if irritation persists. Wear gloves during handling.
