Hydrophile Lipophile Balance (HLB) is a way of measuring a substances solubility within water or oil. The HLB system was created as a tool to make it easier to use nonionic surfactants. The HLB system enables you to assign a HLB value to a surfactant and a HLB requirement to the application for that surfactant. Properly matching these values helps develop your formulations.
Step 1: Determine the HLB requirement of the oil.
Step 2: Determine the most effective surfactant chemistry.
Step 3: Determine surfactant concentration required to achieve desired stability and or rheology.
