Imwitor 372 P emulsifier lipid nonionic emulsifier for controlled emulsion systems and manufacturing formulations
Imwitor 372 P is a nonionic emulsifier based on mono and diglycerides of fatty acids used as a functional raw material for the creation of stable emulsion systems in modern formulation. It enables effective interaction between oil and water phases, forming a uniform and stable structure that remains consistent during storage and transportation.
In formulation systems Imwitor 372 P acts as both an emulsifier and a structuring component, improving ingredient compatibility and maintaining system stability. It integrates into the oil phase and is compatible with a wide range of materials including plant oils, emollients, waxes, fatty alcohols, polymers and active compounds. In manufacturing it demonstrates stable performance under heating and mixing conditions, ensuring reproducibility.
The ingredient is widely used in creams, emulsions and lotions where texture control, viscosity management and stability are required. It allows the development of formulations with predictable performance and consistent quality.
Properties and functional role in formulation
Imwitor 372 P functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer and rheology supporting ingredient. It creates a stable interface between oil and water phases, preventing separation and ensuring homogeneity.
It contributes to lamellar structure formation which influences viscosity and texture. It supports uniform distribution of actives and enhances system stability. Compatible with surfactants, polymers, emollients and extracts.
In manufacturing it ensures stability, reproducibility and control of formulation parameters.
Properties and performance
In finished products it provides smooth texture, improves spreadability and supports uniform application. It maintains structural stability without phase separation.
