Technical & Sensory Profile

Formulation

Reflez SOL 40 is a viscous liquid that is easy to handle and incorporate. It can be added into either the aqueous or oil phase depending on the formulation concept, or used as a co-emulsifier in O/W systems. Its HLB of approximately 14 makes it suitable for oil-in-water emulsions and solubilization systems.

Recommended Usage Level

The use level depends on the amount and nature of the substances to be solubilized, as well as the targeted formulation type.

Sensorial Properties

Reflez SOL 40 supports fluid and homogeneous textures in O/W systems. Its odorless profile and liquid nature allow smooth integration without significantly impacting the final sensory feel.
