ELFAN L 310 must be melted either before use or during processing, depending on the formulation type.
Upon cooling, the ELFAN L 310 re-crystalises to form either a turbid or pearlescent structure.
ELFAN L 310 may also be dyed or pigmented or coloured with Micas for a sparkle/shimmer effect as well as to give coloured opaque or pearly effects.
The glycol part of this molecule is sourced from ethylene glycol which is commonly petrochemical derived, the distearate is from stearic acid which is usually from vegetable sources.
However as plant-based glycols become available at better prices, ELFAN L 310 may become 100% plant based.
ELFAN L 310 is oil Soluble but it is also surface active so can be melted into an aqueous product, especially in the case of shampoos and bodywashes.
ELFAN L 310 has an HLB of around 5-6 and can be used as a co-emulsifer for water in oil (w/o) emulsions.
The melting Point is 58-64 C and typical usage is between 2 -4% (with a maximum 10%) depending on the desired effect.
ELFAN L 310 is used as an internal lubricant for processing PVC and other thermoplastics.
