- Formulation Procedures
Forms stable W/O emulsion using cold or warm processes. Has to be added to oil phase of an emulsion, to which the water phase is incorporated slowly while stirring intensively. The coarsely dispersed pre-emulsion is then homogenized. The temperature of the water and oil phase should be approximately the same. In presence of a liquid oil phase, heating during emulsification process is not mandatory.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 5 Years
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- In original sealed containers, in a cool and dry place, protected from light.
- During storage, turbidities or separation may occur which, if necessary, can be reversed by stirring.
- Preferably the content of complete containers should be processed.
- 5 years, stored unopened in original drums.
- Once opened the shelf life is limited by temperature, light and exposure to air.
