Commercial note: Emulsifier performance is system-dependent. We match the grade to your oil phase, target droplet size, mixing energy, electrolyte load (salts), pH, and storage conditions—then quote packaging and shipping lane for repeat procurement.
Product overview
Emulsifier blends are formulated surfactant systems used to create and stabilize emulsions by reducing interfacial tension and forming a protective film around dispersed droplets. Correct selection improves long-term stability, reduces creaming/separation, and helps maintain consistent viscosity and appearance over storage and transport.
Stability control
Targets droplet stabilization, reduced coalescence, and improved shelf stability under thermal cycling.
Process flexibility
Supports a range of mixing energies and addition sequences; options for fast emulsification or high electrolyte environments.
Formulation tuning
Grades can be aligned to HLB, oil phase polarity, pH window, and foam requirements of the final product.
Typical oil phases
Mineral oils, paraffinic/naphthenic oils, light hydrocarbons, esters, glycol ethers (system-dependent).
Typical water phases
Tap/soft/DI water; systems with salts, buffers, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, dyes, or alkalis (compatibility must be confirmed).
Selection is ultimately performance-based. Provide your target stability time, temperature exposure, and any compliance constraints so we can align the right emulsifier window.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Tell us your process and constraints and we’ll align the right specification.
- Wetting and emulsification for blended aqueous products
- Emulsion stability support for storage and transport
- Processing additives in cleaning formulations and industrial concentrates
- Dispersing aid for hydrophobic additives (system-dependent)
- Formulation tuning: viscosity, appearance, and separation control
Where it adds the most value
Mixed-component water-based products that require consistent appearance and performance, especially where salts, pH adjustment, or thermal cycling can destabilize emulsions.
How it works
Emulsifier blends stabilize droplets by reducing interfacial tension and creating a steric/ionic barrier (depending on chemistry), which slows coalescence and phase separation.
Droplet protection
Creates a stabilizing layer around droplets, improving resistance to coalescence under storage, vibration, and thermal cycling.
System compatibility
Formulation-specific behavior depends on pH, salts, temperature, and other actives. Grade selection targets your real operating window.
Practical note: Emulsion failures often come from salts, pH drift, incompatible actives, or insufficient mixing energy. Sharing those constraints up front improves first-pass selection and reduces reformulation cycles.

FAQ
Common questions for emulsifier selection and procurement.
How do I choose the right HLB?
HLB depends on oil phase and desired emulsion type. If you don’t have a target HLB, provide the oil type, oil %, and performance goal—we’ll propose a grade window.
Will salts destabilize the emulsion?
Electrolytes can impact micelle behavior and droplet stabilization. We can offer grades with improved tolerance—share your salts/buffers and concentration range.
Does temperature matter?
Yes—cloud point and viscosity can change with temperature and affect stability. Share your processing and storage temperatures, including hot transport conditions.
Can it be used in cleaners?
Often used to emulsify oily soils or stabilize concentrates. Compatibility with other surfactants, builders, and biocides must be confirmed for the complete formula.
What documents are available?
SDS and COA are available on request; TDS is available for many grades. Compliance statements (restricted substances, origin, etc.) can be provided per tender requirements.
What packaging is typical?
Most shipments are in 200L drums or 1000L IBC. Bulk lanes may be available by volume and destination.
