Add 0.5-3% of Emulsifier O-100 to oil-phase ingredients. Heat to 70-85℃ and stir until fully dissolved. Slowly pour into water-phase components (same temp) while stirring rapidly. Continue mixing at low speed until cooled to room temperature. Adjust dosage based on formulation needs.
FAQ
Q1: What makes Emulsifier O-100 different from O-15 in application?
A1: O-100 has more ethylene oxide groups, offering stronger water solubility and emulsifying power for high-oil formulations. It's often used in heavy-duty detergents or thick emulsions, unlike O-15's focus on mild care products.
Q2: Can Emulsifier O-100 be used in cold-process formulations?
A2: It's not ideal—cold conditions may cause incomplete dissolution, affecting emulsification. For best results, heat O-100 with oil phases to 70-85℃ first, then mix with warmed water phases.Q3: Does Emulsifier O-100 cause skin irritation?
A3: It's low-irritation, but high concentrations (over 3%) might irritate sensitive skin. Stick to the 0.5-3% recommended dosage, and conduct a small skin test if using in personal care products.Q4: What if the emulsion with O-100 separates?
A4: Separation usually comes from uneven temperature (oil/water phases differ by over 5℃) or insufficient stirring. Ensure same-temperature mixing and keep stirring until cooled to room temperature.
