- Product Background
The BRIJ SERIES of surfactants are polyoxyethylene vegetable-based fatty ethers derived from lauryl, cetyl, stearyl and oleyl alcohols. BRIJ surfactants are stable to acids and alkalies beyond the pH range that ester type emulsifiers can withstand. Hence, the BRIJ SERIES are useful for emulsifying fats and oils in highly acidic or alkaline media. The series contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic products. Depending on the HLB, BRIJ surfactants can be used to form either oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, solubilize oils and improve wetting. These products are widely used in personal care, fiber finish and HI&I cleaning, crop protection, paints and coatings, adhesives and other industrial applications.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Solubility and solubilisation
The water solubility of memtms in each series increases with the degree of ethoxylation. Thus, the higher ethoxylates such as Brij 020, C20, CS20 and S20 are soluble in water and insoluble in mineral oil and other non-polar solvents. The lower ethoxylates such as Brij L4, 02 and S2 are soluble in mineral oil and other non- polar solvents, but are insoluble in water.
