Abstract

Non-ionic surfactants with ethylene oxide (EO) head groups become less soluble in water and wourld partition into an oil phase, if present, as system temperatures are raised. Sucrose and glucose based surfactants have the opposite behavior with temperature. This study reports on the ability to make temperature insensitive formulations by using combinations of the above classes of non-ionic surfactants when they are combined in the appropriate mole ratio.
