W/O Emulsifier and Water-Loading Selector
Select the continuous oil, desired internal water loading, and preferred emulsifier category. The model ranks natural-origin and synthetic water-in-oil emulsifiers and estimates a suggested starting use level for laboratory screening.

“Natural-origin” is a market-positioning description only. Verify each supplier grade against COSMOS, NATRUE, ISO 16128, or your customer-specific natural standard.
Suggested use levels are starting ranges and are not validated specifications. Actual performance depends on the oil composition, emulsifier grade, electrolyte level, processing temperature, shear, droplet size, viscosity, order of addition, and interfacial-film strength.
For a W/O/W emulsion, first optimize the primary W/O emulsion. Then use a separate O/W emulsifier and external aqueous-phase stabilizer. Osmotic balance between the internal and external water phases is critical.
