DETERMINATION OF
HYDROPHILIC –LIPHOPHILIC
BALANCE VALUE
INTRODUCTION
In past fifty years, there has been a tremendous growth in the field of
surfactants. The term surfactants include emulsifiers, wetting agents,
suspending agents, detergents, anti-foam compounds and many others.
Therefore, there classification is very important to choose suitable
surfactant to give maximum effect.
William Griffin, in the late 1940s, introduced the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic
Balance system (HLB) as a way of figuring out which emulsifier would
work best with the oil phase of an emulsified product
DEFINITION :
It is the relative efficiency of the hydrophilic portion of the surfactant
molecule to its lipophilic portion of the same molecule .
Emulsifiers / Surfactants are characterized according to the "balance"
between the hydrophilic ("water-loving") and lipophilic ("oil-loving")
portions of their molecules.
An emulsifier that is lipophilic in character is assigned a low HLB
number and an emulsifier that is hydrophilic in character is assigned a
high number.
The midpoint is approximately ten and the assigned values have
ranged from one to forty.
The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) number indicates the polarity
of the molecules in a range of 1-40, with the most commonly used
emulsifiers having a value between 1 and 20.
The HLB number increases with increasing hydrophilicity.
Lipophilic tails align with oil
Hydrophilic heads align with water
Lipophilic Tail & Hydrophilic Head
 The theory behind HLB is that emulsifier having low
HLB value tend to be oil soluble and materials having
high values tend to be water soluble.
 However, this doesn’t always be right, e.g., two
emulsifiers may have the same HLB and exhibit
different solubility characteristics.
 Further, one should take a point into consideration
that
chemical type alone doesn’t establish hydrophilic-
lipophilic balance.
 Thus, soaps may range from strongly hydrophilic for
sodium laurate to strongly lipophilic for aluminium
oleate; esters, ether-esters, and ethers may range
from low to high HLB’s, sulphates and sulfonates may
range from medium to high.

For most polyhydric alcohol fatty acid esters approximate
values may be calculated with the formula:
Where,
• S= saponification number of the
ester
• A= acid number of the acid

The desired HLB numbers can also be achieved by mixing
lipophilic and hydrophilic surfactants.
William Griffin devised HLB System to calculated amount of
emulsifier to get the desired HLB.

The HLB system is very useful to distinguish the surfactants
according to their applications.
Generally, the applications for nonionic surfactants within
the following HLB ranges are as follows:
HLB range Application
4-6 w/o emulsifiers
7-9 wetting agents
8-18 o/w emulsifiers
13-15 Detergents
10-18 Solubilizers
Advantages:
Gives stable emulsion.
Works best with nonionic
surfactants.
Disadvantages:
HLB is only a good
approximation.
 Doesn’t always work.

The HLB system, though it does not indicate the overall
efficiency of the surfactant, it does tell “what it will do” i.e.
what kind of an emulsion or product to expect.
By so doing, it enables us to compare various chemical
types of surfactants at their optimum balance.
The HLB system appears to be suitable for all types of
problems employing surface active agents.
