Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Emulsogen EPN 118?
A: Emulsogen EPN 118 is a nonionic surfactant based on ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols, designed to provide effective emulsification and stabilization in oil-in-water systems without ionic charge interference.
Q2: In which types of formulations is Emulsogen EPN 118 most commonly used?
A: It is widely employed in agrochemical concentrates (e.g., EC, SE, and OD formulations), industrial cleaning products, and functional coatings where low foaming, good water solubility, and compatibility with electrolytes are required.
Q3: How does Emulsogen EPN 118 perform in hard water or high-salt environments?
A: As a nonionic emulsifier, it exhibits excellent tolerance to hardness ions and high electrolyte concentrations, maintaining emulsion stability without precipitation or phase separation under typical use conditions.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for Emulsogen EPN 118 in emulsion formulations?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the total formulation—to achieve stable, fine-dispersed emulsions.
Q5: Is Emulsogen EPN 118 compatible with common pesticides and active ingredients?
A: Yes, it demonstrates broad compatibility with a wide range of hydrophobic active ingredients—including organophosphates, pyrethroids, and triazoles—as well as other formulation additives such as solvents, co-emulsifiers, and thickeners.
