WITH AHE
KEY FACTS FOR FORMULATING WITH AHE
PH COMPATIBILITY
The recommended pH range for optimal stability of AHE is 5.0 – 7.5, though it has been successfully formulated in products with a broader pH range from 4 to 9.
COLOR VARIETY
While AHE has a naturally dark shade, it can be successfully formulated into lighter-colored products by adjusting the oil phase or formulation strategy.
TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY
Long-term exposure to 95°C for 60 minutes may alter humic acid composition.
SOLUBILITY
AHE is approximately 90% water-soluble.
NO SPECIAL PRE-DISPERSION NEEDED
AHE is usually added as an extra phase at the end before final homogenization, making it easy to integrate.
PRESERVATIVE STABILITY
AHE-containing formulations comply with DIN 11930 microbiological standards.
VISCOSITY CONSIDERATION
Low-viscosity products should include a “Shake Before Use” instruction to ensure even dispersion.
COMPATIBILITY
AHE is compatible with a wide range of formulation components, including emulsifiers, surfactants, and active ingredients. It can be incorporated into both water- and oil-based formulations without compromising stability or efficacy.
