Crodafos surfactants
with a minimum of 3
moles of ethylene
oxide function as o/w
emulsifiers. Those
containing less than 3
moles may function as
emulsifiers, depending
on the application. The
more hydrophilic
members of this range
also function as
wetting/solubilising
agents in aqueous
systems. Crodafos N3
and SG are substantive
conditioning agents

Crodafos N3 and SG are

particularly recommended as
conditioning agents in shampoos,
detergents and microemulsions.

recommended for use in eye

As O/W emulsifiers,
they are often used
with the corresponding
ester. All are effective
solubilisers although
Crillets 1,3 and 6 are
generally preferred

All types of cosmetics and

HLB values
The HLB, or hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, is an expression of the relative simultaneous
attraction of a surfactant for water and oil, ie a comparison of the hydrophilic to the
lipophilic portion of the surfactant molecule. HLB values of nonionic surfactants range from
about 1 to 20.
The miscibility of a surfactant in water is a guide to its HLB value. Generally those with low
HLB values are oil soluble and those with HLB values greater than 10 are water soluble.
The following table lists properties of surfactants at various HLB values.

HLB Value

Surfactant function

Miscibility in water

1-5

Water-in-oil emulsifier

Immiscible or poorly dispersible

5-8

Detergent and solubiliser

15-20

Oil-in-water emulsifier.
Detergent and solubiliser

When selecting a surfactant using the HLB system, it is necessary to consider its chemical
structure. In some applications a blend of surfactants rather than a single surfactant may
be more effective. The following list is intended for chemists who are acquainted with this
system. Assistance can be given should additional information be required.
To make this list comprehensive, products have been included which are not part of the
standard Croda range of surfactants. Such materials are available when required in
commercial quantities.
For some members of the surfactant range the HLB value is difficult to calculate due to
their complexity. These are the Cosmowax, Crodex and Polawax ranges of emulsifying
waxes which are suitable for the emulsification of a diverse selection of lipophilic materials
having a variety of required HLB.
The Crodafos range is also omitted from the table. Comments can be made on the HLB
value of specific members of the range on request.
