An Example of Emulsifier Selection for a W/O Type Emulsion by HLB-Temperature System

The Investigation of 20wt% Aqueous Sorbitol Solution-Liquid Paraffin System Emulsified with Arlacel 186

Abstract

A stable W/O type emulsion of aqueous sorbitol solution (20wt%) -liquid paraffin system stabilized with Arlacel 186 (a mixture of mono-, di-, and triolein) is obtained. By the aid of HLB-temperature method, it was shown that Arlacel 186 is a suitable emulsifier for this system. This paper deals the procedure in selecting stable emulsifier for W/O type emulsion by HLB-temperature method adopting the above exemplified system.
