Manufacturer suggests usage range of 1 - 10% Emulsifier EQ 65 Pellets can be dispersed in water at approximately 75 °C. Addition of nonionic emulsifiers such as Ceteareth-25 would improve the processability of EQ 65 Pellets in water

The viscosity of conditioners using Emulsifier EQ 65 Pellets can be optimized by applying a second homogenization step after cooling down to room temperature

Emulsifier EQ 65 Pellets show great stability at lower pH values. However, the manufacturer advises that where there is formulation-pH of 5 and above, EQ 65 Pellets tend to hydrolyze. Therefore, they recommend adjusting the pH of a cream rinse conditioner formulation to around 4. Do keep in mind the pellets will have a slightly fishy / ammonia like odour, like BTMS but this will not impact the finished product. This ingredient can be used in Hair care products, Cleansing Conditioners, Detangling and Frizz Free products. When used in Lotion bases, it will give the finished product a rich creamy powdery feel.
