Product Overview
CREMOPHOR (R) A25, also well-known as Eumulgin B 25, is a high-performance non-ionic ethoxylated fatty alcohol emulsifier specially developed for cosmetic, personal care and fine chemical formulations. Featuring a unique amphiphilic molecular structure with lipophilic long-chain alkyl groups and hydrophilic ethoxylate segments, this product can effectively reduce oil-water interfacial tension, perfectly connect oil phase and water phase ingredients, and form uniform, fine and highly stable oil-in-water emulsions. Different from conventional emulsifiers, it exhibits excellent tolerance to inorganic salts and mild pH fluctuations, with stable performance in complex formulation systems.

The product is presented asfree-flowing, non-dusting micro-granules with a pure white appearance. This fine granular form avoids dust pollution during feeding and production, features good fluidity and easy dispersion, greatly improving production operability and material utilization rate. It acts as an efficient protective colloid in dispersed systems, effectively preventing particle aggregation, layering and precipitation, and significantly enhancing the long-term storage stability of emulsions, suspensions and gel formulations.
