BASF Emulan TO3070 Emulsion – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Emulan TO3070 in formulations?

A: Emulan TO3070 is a non-ionic O/W emulsifier designed to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, particularly in aqueous systems requiring low foaming, good compatibility with electrolytes, and robust performance across a broad pH range.


Q2: Is Emulan TO3070 suitable for use in personal care products?

A: Yes — it is widely used in rinse-off and leave-on personal care applications such as lotions, creams, and cleansing formulations due to its mildness, low irritation potential, and ability to deliver elegant sensory properties and stable texture.


Q3: How should Emulan TO3070 be incorporated into an emulsion system?

A: It is typically added to the aqueous phase or pre-emulsified with oils before homogenization. Optimal incorporation depends on the specific formulation matrix, but it generally performs well under standard high-shear mixing conditions without requiring elevated temperatures.


Q4: Does Emulan TO3070 exhibit sensitivity to ionic content or pH changes?

A: As a non-ionic surfactant, Emulan TO3070 demonstrates good tolerance to moderate levels of electrolytes and maintains emulsion stability across a typical pH range of 4–9, making it suitable for diverse formulation environments.


Q5: Can Emulan TO3070 be used in combination with other emulsifiers or thickeners?

A: Yes — it shows good compatibility with common co-emulsifiers (e.g., fatty alcohols, cationic or anionic surfactants at appropriate ratios) and rheology modifiers such as xanthan gum, carbomers, and cellulose derivatives, enabling flexible formulation design.
