BASF Emulan OP25 Emulsion – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Emulan OP25 Emulsion in formulations?

A: Emulan OP25 Emulsion is a nonionic oil-in-water emulsifier designed to stabilize hydrophobic actives and oils in aqueous systems, enabling uniform dispersion and improved formulation robustness across diverse pH and ionic strength conditions.


Q2: Is Emulan OP25 suitable for use in personal care products intended for sensitive skin?

A: Yes — Emulan OP25 is formulated to deliver mildness and low irritation potential, making it well-suited for leave-on and rinse-off personal care applications, including facial moisturizers and baby care products, when used within recommended dosage ranges.


Q3: How should Emulan OP25 be incorporated into an emulsion system?

A: It is typically added to the aqueous phase prior to emulsification, though it may also be dosed into the oil phase depending on the target emulsion type. Homogenization or high-shear mixing is recommended to ensure complete dispersion and optimal droplet formation.


Q4: Does Emulan OP25 exhibit compatibility with common preservatives and thickeners?

A: Yes — Emulan OP25 demonstrates broad compatibility with widely used preservative systems (e.g., parabens, phenoxyethanol blends) and rheology modifiers such as xanthan gum, acrylates/C10–30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymers, and cellulose derivatives.
