- Product Highlights
- The quality of an emulsion is primarily determined by the composition of the oil phase. The oils and esters used, particularly for W/O emulsions, should be chosen for their suitability to the application area. For light emulsions it is recommended to use light oils and esters with good spreadability. Emulsions are normally stabilized with waxes, which tend to have an unpleasant, sticky skin feel. Stabilizing emulsions with Gilugel® avoids this problem.
- Gilugel® MIG acts in the oil phase, as an emulsion stabilizer and thickener. Application levels between 5 and 15% are recommended, depending on the viscosity required.
- Gilugel® MIG i s agel based on the inorganic pharmaceutical active , Hydrotalcite, gelled in caprylic/capric triglycerides.
- Gilugel® MIG acts as a stabilizer and viscosity regulator in this formulation.
- Oil Separation Gilugel® is filled into pails at ca. 80°C. On cooling, the gel contracts and small amounts of oil are forced out of the gel structure. This does not negatively influence the product quality, but should be taken into account when using the material.
