- Features and Benefits
- Allows for cold or hot processing enabling flexible processing requirements
- Can emulsify up to 20% oil by weight within the pH range of 3.0 - 11.0
- Can emulsify up to 30% oil by weight within the pH range of 4.0 - 5.5
- Enables formulation of water-resistant oil-in-water emulsions because formulations do not require the use of surfactants
- Enhanced sensory - light, refreshing and light residue
- No HLB calculation required when formulating
- PEG-free
- Mild and non-surface active polymeric emulsifiers
- Versatile Stabilizers for Lotions and Creams
- Effectively stabilize oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels
- Can act as sole thickeners, stabilizers and emulsifiers for low oil loadings (< 5%)
- Provide high efficiency in combination with low levels of co-emulsifiers
- Offer best-in-class stability of low viscosity emulsions with Pemulen™ TR-2 polymeric emulsifier
