The EMULAN types are emulsifiers for the preparation of stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions.
Some of the EMULAN types are also suitable for making or stabilizing water-based dispersions, such as wax, polymer and rubber dispersions, which are used for impregnating, lubricating, cleaning, polishing, protecting surfaces or preventing dust

EMULAN EL, EMULAN EL 40 and EMULAN ELH 60 are cloudy, yellow liquids.
EMULAN AF, EMULAN AT 9, EMULAN OC and EMULAN OP 25 are colourless, waxy substances.
EMULAN OG is supplied in the form of colourless, waxy micronized beads.
EMULAN TO 40 Flakes are supplied in the form of white or yellowish flakes.
EMULAN HE 50 and EMULAN HE 51 are clear, colourless liquids.
Storage of EMULAN AF:
The EMULAN types should be stored in their original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed, in a dry place.
Store rooms must not be overheated.
Avoid a humid environment, because the products are hygroscopic and, being readily soluble in water, absorb moisture immediately.
For this reason, EMULAN types are advisable to reseal drums tightly without delay each time material is taken from them.
The congealing points of the EMULAN types must be taken into consideration when determining the storage temperature.
The EMULAN types can become slightly cloudy if they are stored at low temperatures, but this has no effect on the product properties.
The cloudiness can be reversed at 50 – 60°C.
EMULAN types that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to 50 – 70°C and homogenized before use.
EMULAN types in drums that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be melted or heated gently in a heating cabinet or heated chamber.
The temperature should not exceed 50 – 70°C, depending on the particular congealing or melting point.
This also applies if electric drum heaters are used.
Internal electrical elements are unsuitable for heating owing to the high heat load in some places.
If the EMULAN types are stored in heated tanks at 50 – 70°C (depending on the particular congealing or melting point), care must be taken to ensure that they do not come into contact with air (blanket with nitrogen).
Constant gentle stirring prevents them from overheating or becoming discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with the heating elements or external heating jacket.
EMULAN OG and TO 40 Flakes should be stored in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25 – 30°C.
Materials:
Tanks made of the following materials are suitable for the storage of EMULAN types:
V2A stainless steel (1.4541 or X6 CrNiTi 1810)
V4A stainless steel (1.4571 or X6 CrNiMoTi 17122)
Shelf life of EMULAN AF:
The EMULAN types have a shelf-life of at least 24 months, provided they are stored in their original packaging and kept tightly sealed.
Safety of EMULAN AF:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using EMULAN types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, EMULAN types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.
