Q1: What is the primary function of Emulan AF Emulsion in formulations?
A: Emulan AF Emulsion is a non-ionic, oil-in-water emulsifier designed to stabilize aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic actives—particularly in personal care and home care applications. It facilitates uniform incorporation of oils, waxes, or silicone fluids into water-based systems while supporting mildness and sensory performance.
Q2: Is Emulan AF Emulsion suitable for rinse-off or leave-on cosmetic products?
A: Yes—it is widely used in both rinse-off (e.g., shampoos, body washes) and leave-on (e.g., lotions, creams) formulations. Its gentle profile and compatibility with common surfactants and preservatives support broad formulation flexibility across product categories.
Q3: How should Emulan AF Emulsion be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the aqueous phase or at the oil-in-water emulsification stage. For optimal stability, it is recommended to add Emulan AF Emulsion to the water phase prior to introducing the oil phase, with moderate shear and controlled temperature—generally below 70 °C—to preserve its functional integrity.
Q4: Does Emulan AF Emulsion contain ethoxylated ingredients, and what is its environmental profile?
A: Yes—it contains polyethoxylated fatty alcohols as key components. The emulsifier is formulated to meet current industry expectations for biodegradability and aquatic toxicity profiles, aligning with BASF’s commitment to sustainable ingredient design.
