Product Advantage

  1. Excellent Solubility: Emulsifier O - 10 is highly soluble in water and organic solvents. This strong solubility ensures it can be easily incorporated into various formulations, facilitating smooth application processes.

  2. Stable Performance in Extreme Conditions: It is stable in acidic, alkaline, and hard water environments. This stability allows it to maintain its emulsifying, wetting, and detergency properties, even in challenging conditions.

  3. Precise Hydroxyl Value: Although the hydroxyl value isn't given a specific numerical range here, its consistent performance in chemical reactions and formulations, as seen in similar products, provides reliable results for manufacturers.

  4. Low Moisture Content: With a moisture content of ≤1.0%, it ensures the product's stability during storage and use, reducing the risk of degradation and maintaining its effectiveness.

Product Uses

  1. Textile Industry: Acts as an emulsifier component in chemical fiber spinning oil, contributing to the smooth spinning process and improving fiber quality.

  2. Daily Chemicals: Used as an emulsifier in the production of cosmetics and ointments, helping to create stable and homogeneous products.

  3. Cleaning Products: Can be used to formulate household and industrial cleaners, effectively removing dirt and grime due to its good detergency.

  4. General Industry: Serves as an emulsifier for animal, plant, and mineral oils, enabling the creation of stable emulsions for various industrial applications.


Usage & Handling Guide

  1. Add O-10 to either oil or water phase (50-60°C recommended for better dissolution).

  2. Stir the mixture at moderate speed (1000-1500 RPM) for 5-10 minutes until fully blended.

  3. Adjust pH to 5.5-7.5 if needed, then cool to room temperature.

    Dosage: 1-5% of total formulation (adjust based on product type like creams or detergents). Avoid high temperatures over 80°C.


FAQ

  1. Q: What's the difference between cosmetic-grade and industrial-grade O-10?
    A: Cosmetic-grade has stricter purity (≤0.1% impurities) and low irritation, safe for skin products. Industrial-grade focuses on emulsifying power, suitable for detergents/coatings, with higher impurity limits.
  2. Q: Can O-10 be mixed with anionic surfactants (e.g., SLS)?
    A: Yes. It improves compatibility and stability of anionic systems. Test a 1:1 ratio first, then adjust dosage (total surfactants 3-8% of formulation) to avoid clumping.
  3. Q: How to store O-10 to prevent degradation?
    A: Store in a sealed container at 15-30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Unopened, it has a 2-year shelf life; opened, use within 6 months to keep performance.
  4. Q: Is O-10 safe for food contact when using food-grade variants?
    A: Yes. Food-grade O-10 meets FDA/EFSA standards. It's used in bakery or dairy products (dosage ≤2%) to improve texture, with no harmful residues when used as directed.
