APPLICATIONS IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION OR TECHNOLOGY

RHU CHEM-SEA are generally used as emulsifiers in oil-in-water type creams and lotions. Their hydrophilicity or lipophilicity depends on the number of ethylene oxide units present; the larger the number, the greater the hydrophilic properties. RHU CHEM-SEA-40 has also been used as an emulsifying agent in intravenous infusions.

RHU CHEM-SEA are particularly useful as emulsifying agents when astringent salts or other strong electrolytes are present.

They can also be blended with other surfactants to obtain any hydrophilic-lipophilic balance for lotions or ointment formulations.
