Q1: What is the primary function of Emulsogen ENF in formulations?
A: Emulsogen ENF is a nonionic emulsifier designed to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, enhance solubilization of hydrophobic actives, and improve the physical stability and homogeneity of aqueous-based systems—particularly in personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning applications.
Q2: Is Emulsogen ENF compatible with ionic surfactants and common formulation ingredients?
A: Yes, as a nonionic surfactant, Emulsogen ENF exhibits broad compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, as well as common thickeners, preservatives, and active ingredients. It is generally stable across a wide pH range and tolerant of moderate electrolyte levels.
Q3: How should Emulsogen ENF be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the aqueous phase or directly into the oil phase depending on the emulsification method (e.g., PIT or high-shear). Pre-dilution in water or co-solvent may facilitate uniform dispersion. Processing temperature should remain below its cloud point for optimal performance.
Q4: What are typical dosage levels for Emulsogen ENF?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—sufficient to achieve desired emulsion stability and clarity without compromising sensory or functional properties.
Q5: Does Emulsogen ENF have any known limitations in high-temperature or high-salt environments?
A: As a nonionic ethoxylated surfactant, its cloud point defines the upper temperature limit for aqueous solubility. Performance may decrease near or above this point. High electrolyte concentrations can also reduce solubilization capacity and emulsion stability, so formulation optimization is recommended under such conditions.
