Addition Order & Process
Procedure: Heat oil phase (silicone, lemon, mineral oils) to 65°C. Heat water phase to 70°C; dissolve polysorbate 80, triethanolamine, and APG. Slowly add oil phase to water phase under high-shear mixing (3000 rpm). Maintain shear 10 minutes. Cool to 35°C; add preservative and dye.
Formulation Notes
Furniture polish is an oil-in-water emulsion containing silicone oil for durability, lemon oil for cleaning and fragrance, and mild surfactant for soil removal.
Formulation FC-10.6-M — Furniture Cleaner/Polish (Emulsion)
Specification: pH 8.0 ± 0.3; emulsion stability > 6 months (centrifuge, 3000 rpm, 30 min); viscosity 800–1500 mPa·s. The silicone oil produces a dry-to-touch protective film with water-contact angle ~110°, dramatically reducing dust adhesion .
