HLB values
The HLB, or hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, is an expression of the relative simultaneous attraction of a
surfactant for water and oil, i.e. a comparison of the hydrophilic to the lipophilic portion of the surfactant
molecule. HLB values of nonionic surfactants range from about 1 to 20.
The miscibility of a surfactant in water is a guide to its HLB value. Generally those with low HLB values are oil
soluble and those with HLB values greater than 10 are water soluble.
When selecting a surfactant using the HLB system, it is necessary to consider its chemical structure. In some
applications a blend of surfactants rather than a single surfactant may be more effective. The list overleaf is
intended for chemists who are acquainted with this system. Assistance can be given should additional
information be required.
