A "non-ionic emulsifying wax BP" is primarily used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications to create stable emulsions by effectively blending oil and water phases together, commonly found in creams, lotions, ointments, and other topical products, where it acts as a thickening agent and helps maintain a smooth consistency; "BP" signifies that it meets British Pharmacopoeia standards for quality and purity.
Outstanding Emulsifying PerformanceWith a high HLB value of about 14.9 and an excellent emulsification value, Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP ensures optimal stability in both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, making it highly desirable for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesThis non-ionic emulsifying wax is widely used in creams, lotions, ointments, and various topical formulations within the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Its high purity and reliable performance meet stringent BP standards, making it safe and consistent for sensitive uses.
High Purity and Safety AssuranceWith heavy metals below 10 ppm and lead content less than 0.001%, Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP ensures product safety and purity. Strict quality parameters, including an acid value under 1.0 mg KOH/g and a saponification value of 14-22, affirm its compliance with regulatory benchmarks.
FAQ's of Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP:
Q: How is Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP typically used in product formulations?
A: It is primarily used as an emulsifier to blend oil and water in creams, lotions, ointments, and other topical preparations. Its non-ionic nature makes it suitable for both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, providing smooth texture and long-term stability.
Q: What benefits does this emulsifying wax offer over other emulsifiers?
A: Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP offers excellent stability, high purity (99%), low heavy metal content, and a faint characteristic odor. Its HLB value makes it especially effective for achieving stable emulsions required in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
Q: When should this emulsifying wax be added during the manufacturing process?
A: It is typically added during the heating phase, as it disperses easily in hot water. Incorporating the wax while heating the oil or water phase ensures thorough melting and smooth emulsification, leading to a uniform end product.
Q: Where should Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP be stored to maintain its quality?
A: This product should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and shelf life. Proper storage prevents clumping and degradation of its emulsifying properties.
Q: What is the shelf life and ideal storage condition for this product?
A: Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP has a shelf life of up to 3 years when stored in sealed packaging under cool and dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Q: What packaging options are available for Emulsifying Wax Non-Ionic-BP?
A: It is supplied in bags, drums, or HDPE bags, allowing for flexible handling and bulk storage to suit varied manufacturing needs.
Q: Is this emulsifying wax suitable for sensitive or regulated applications?
A: Yes, its compliance with BP (British Pharmacopoeia) standards, high purity, and negligible heavy metals or lead content make it highly suitable for pharmaceuticals and personal care products with strict quality requirements.
