About Emulsifier
Polymerised Emulsifiers
Emulsifieris an additive which is used as a stabilizing agent for various emulsions that are suspended solutions that can be water based or oil based. It consist of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic tails in its compound. It acts as a barrier in between the droplets to keep them from coalescing. Emulsifier works like a surfactant which when added to the emulsions can attract both polar and non-polar particles. It is suitable for both water in oil or oil in water based emulsions and helps to lower the interfacial tension between the different phases to stabilize the droplets.

Applications
MOPIN - 411, is an oil & water soluble product, it acts as an emulsifier. It is a polar product, use of this product allows, in corporation of water into the paint/ink system.
- It does not separate water on storage from the system.
- It is soluble with all types of alkyd resins.
- Addition of MOPIN - 411 do not change reological property of Ink and reduces premixing and dispersion time substantially.
- Recommended for Offset Inks.
- Improve wetting and minimize flocculation.
Direction of using the product
- Prepare premix as per the regular formulations.
- Put premix for stirring under high speed.
- Add MOPIN - 411 as per recommended dosage after stirring about 15-20 minutes.
- Start addition of water slowly under stirring (add 2 ltrs. water/min.)
- Continue running the stirrer up to 30-35 min.
Notes
- Add all the ingredients of the final product before addition of MOPIN - 411 and water.
- Add water slowly.

FAQs of Emulsifier:
Q: How is this emulsifier typically used in food and industrial applications?
A: In food processing, the emulsifier stabilizes mixtures, preventing separation of oil and water in products like sauces, dressings, and baked goods. In industrial settings, it helps blend incompatible substances in paints, lubricants, and coatings, thanks to its excellent solubility in both water and oil.
Q: What benefits does this emulsifier provide for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products?
A: The neutral taste and odorless nature make it ideal for cosmetic creams, lotions, and pharmaceutical preparations, offering stability and homogeneity. Its low acid and iodine values ensure product integrity and improved shelf life.
Q: When should I choose this emulsifier over other types?
A: Opt for this emulsifier when you require a solid, food- or industrial-grade product with high purity (98%) that is soluble in both water and oils. It is particularly suitable for formulations needing low viscosity, neutral taste, and no odor.
Q: Where is your emulsifier manufactured and supplied from?
A: Our emulsifier is manufactured and exported from India, with a proven track record of supplying to international markets as well as domestic clients. We cater to diverse industries through flexible shipping options.
Q: What is the recommended process of incorporating this emulsifier into formulations?
A: Depending on your product, the emulsifier can be directly added in powder or flake form and dissolved thoroughly in the mixture, thanks to its high solubility. Adequate stirring or mixing ensures optimal dispersion and effectiveness.
Q: How does the physical form and density of this emulsifier affect its application?
A: The solid form (powder/flakes) and moderate density (1.06 g/cm) allow for convenient handling, accurate dosing, and uniform dispersion in both small- and large-scale operations. Its physical properties contribute to consistent performance across applications.
