H Care® CPE is an oil-soluble long-chain organic phosphate ester supplied as a free acid in powdered form. It is generally used as a co-emulsifier with low HLB nonionics and is non-irritating to the skin. This product is easily dissolved into either phase during emulsion processing and can be neutralized in situ with various cations. At low use concentrations, it will enhance the stability of emulsions and thicken creams and lotions. It can replace TEA-stearate in most preparations. It is ideally suited for use in many dermatological and personal care products.

Product Benefits
  • Emulsion stabilizer – overcomes imbalances in HLB emulsifier values for various oil systems.
  • Easy to formulate. Acid form is oil soluble; neutralized salts are water-soluble.
  • Can be substituted for polyacrylic acid type polymers, which are frequently utilized as emulsion stabilizers without increasing viscosity to an unacceptable limit.
  • Physically easier to use than polyacrylic acid. No dispersion, wetting problems or fish eyes in solution.
  • Good rub out and after feel. Does not inhibit quick break emulsion properties.
  • Primary emulsifier, providing excellent performance at normal skin pH.
  • Easy-to-handle, without noxious dust particles.
