Emulsification

An example of the outstanding water-in-oil emulsifying properties of Cola®Mid 3458 is as follows: By combining 10 parts (by wt.) of Cola®Mid 3458 with 40 parts (by wt.) of mineral oil and slowly adding water with good agitation and shear, a stable water-in-oil emulsion can be prepared containing an unusually high percentage of water. As the water concentration is increased, the emulsion becomes more viscous, however does not invert to an oil-inwater emulsion until the concentration of oil is below 8% (by wt.)

The excellent oil emulsification properties of this low to moderate foaming alkanolamide suggest its use in degreasers and other hard surface cleaners.
