EMULSIFIERS

Emulsifiers are substances that reduce the surface tension between two immiscible phases, enabling them to mix and form an emulsion. An emulsion is a dispersed two-phase system where two normally non-mixable liquids are intimately combined.

EMULSIFIERS

EMULSIFIERS

Substances which reduces the surface tension at the interface of two normally immiscible phases, allowing them to mix and form and emulsion.

Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance (HLB)

The balance of size and strength of the hydrophilic (water loving/polar) and the lipophilic (oil loving/non polar) groups on the emulsifier.

HLB of 10-18
Good o/w emulsifier
HLB of 7-9
Good wetting agent; can be used for w/o or o/w emulsifier
HLB of 3-6
Good w/o emulsifier
