Separating in Highlighter Liquid Emulsion Base

Posted by bimaxx on October 28, 2018 at 12:55 am
Here I am doing research and development to make highlighter liquid products which use an emulsion system. After I made stability in glass jar about 2 months and i put in the chamber 45°C, 4°C, 25°C, UV, and the Cycle test. As a result, I found a bit separation at 45 ° C and UV conditions. Below I attach the ingredients list and % of the material I use for this highlighter liquid product.

1. Diisostearyl Malate 8.2%

2. Cyclopentasiloxane 1.13%

3. Cyclopentasiloxane (and) PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone 3.49%

4. Dimethicone 11.28%

5. Disteardimonium hectorite 1.38%

6. Sorbitan sesquioleate 5.9%

7. Isododecane 8.36%

8. Phenoxyethanol (and) ethylhexylglycerin 0.51%

9. Tocopheryl acetate 0.26%

10. Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer 0.1%

11. Alcohol Denat 3.08%

12. Propylene glycol 8.13%

13. Aqua (Water) 24.88%

14. Silica 0.66%

15. Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer 0.1%

16. Mica (and) Hydrogen Dimethicone 13.3%

17. Mica (and) Titanium Dioxide (and) Iron Oxides (and) Carmine 4.1%

18. Synthetic fluorphlogopite (and) CI 77891(and) CI 77491(and)Tin oxide 4.45%

19. Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (and) Iron oxides 0.69%
```
why is there separation? does the emulsifier I use doesn't match? or lack of binder?

if you have answers, suggestions or have experienced the same thing can we discuss it here? I am very happy if someone sends me in on my problem. thank you?.
