Booster Emulsifier

Whatsapp Order

Booster Emulsifier is a specialized surfactant-based additive formulated to enhance the stability, texture, and uniformity of emulsions in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It acts by reducing surface tension between immiscible liquids such as oil and water, facilitating the formation of stable, homogeneous emulsions. Booster Emulsifier is valued for its ability to improve product appearance, extend shelf life, and enhance sensory properties such as mouthfeel and creaminess. It is typically available as a liquid or powder and compatible with a wide range of ingredients.

Booster Emulsifier

Primary Uses

Food Industry

Used to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions in products like mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, and beverages.
Enhances texture and shelf life of bakery fillings, margarine, and dairy alternatives.
Facilitates the mixing of fat and water phases in processed foods for consistent quality.

Cosmetic and Personal Care

Used in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and hair care products to achieve stable emulsions with smooth application.
Improves product spreadability and skin feel by creating fine droplets in emulsions.

Pharmaceuticals

Used in topical creams, ointments, and liquid suspensions to maintain homogeneity and effective drug delivery.
Enhances bioavailability of active ingredients in emulsified dosage forms.

Secondary Uses

Industrial Applications

Used in lubricants and metalworking fluids where stable emulsions improve performance.
Applied in agrochemical formulations such as pesticide emulsions for consistent application.

Nutraceuticals

Incorporated in omega-3 oil supplements and functional beverages to stabilize emulsions and improve taste masking.
