Cola®Fax CPE MB is an oil-soluble long chain organic phosphate ester supplied as a free acid in powdered form. Used as a co-emulsifier with low HLB nonionics, it is non-irritating to skin. Cola®Fax CPE MB easily dissolves into either phase during emulsion processing and can be neutralized in-situ with various cations. At low concentrations, it enhances the stability of emulsions and thickens creams and lotions, making it a suitable replacement for TEA-stearate. Cola®Fax CPE MB is ideally suited for use in many dermatological and personal care products.

Product Highlights
  • 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 afterfeel. Does not inhibit quick break emulsion properties.
  • Primary emulsifier, providing excellent performance at normal skin pH.
  • Easy-to-handle, without noxious dust particles

Viscosity Performance Graph

At low concentrations, Cola®Fax CPE MB will effectively increase viscosity and aid in the stabilization of the emulsion system. Formulations containing Cola®Fax CPE MB will display enhanced shear, heat, and freezethaw stability. Cola®Fax CPE MB will also enhance the glossy appearance of cosmetic cremes.
