Description

Emulsan is a high-molecular-weight bioemulsifier, a complex anionic heteropolysaccharide, primarily known for its exceptional surface-active properties. Its core value lies in its ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and reduce interfacial tension, making it a powerful and environmentally compatible agent for managing hydrophobic substances. This product is essential for industries requiring advanced, biodegradable solutions for emulsification, dispersion, and bioremediation processes.

Application

• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Used as a bio-based surfactant to mobilize and recover residual oil from mature reservoirs.
• Environmental Bioremediation: Applied to emulsify and disperse hydrocarbon pollutants (e.g., crude oil spills) in soil and water, enhancing microbial degradation.
• Industrial Cleaning Formulations: Serves as a key ingredient in specialized cleaners and degreasers for heavy hydrocarbon deposits.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Emulsions: Acts as a natural stabilizer and emulsifier in the formulation of creams, lotions, and topical delivery systems.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Improves the spreading and adherence of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Food Processing Aid: Utilized as an emulsifier and stabilizer in certain food-grade applications where natural ingredients are preferred.

Quality Control

Our Emulsan is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. While specific grades are available for different applications, all material is characterized for key parameters such as emulsification activity, viscosity, and polysaccharide content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, microbiological limits, and performance specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept away from excessive heat and humidity to maintain stability.
