[Carnol as a stabilizer of the emulsion I system]

"Carnol" insaponificable fraction from "chalky" carnauba wax, was tested for its emulsified system estabilizing abilities. The required HLB of test system, made up of mineral oil, water, polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate and sorbitam monooleate, was 9.0. 1% of carnol (w/v) formed A/O emulsions (HLB less than or equal to 7.0), 2% carnol estabilized O/A emulsions with the required HLB of the test system and 3% carnol estabilized both types of emulsions.
