The difference between black buffalo horn and white buffalo horn

In the chemical industry, horn (also known as horn) is an important raw material, widely used in the preparation of emulsions, dispersions, solutions and other products. Black buffalo horn and white buffalo horn, as two common horn forms, have attracted much attention because of their processing methods, physical and chemical properties and application characteristics. This paper will analyze the difference between black buffalo and white buffalo horn from the aspects of physical and chemical characteristics, industrial use, advantages and disadvantages, and provide valuable reference for chemical practitioners.

1. of Black Buffalo Horn and White Buffalo Horn of Physical and Chemical Characteristics

1.1 color and appearance

Black Buffalo Horn: After ethanol treatment, the horn is dark brown or black, with a depressed appearance, smooth surface and no water beads. White buffalo horn: without ethanol treatment, bright white appearance, smooth surface, no obvious color change.

1.2 physical properties

• Viscosity: black buffalo horn viscosity due to ethanol content is different, usually in 2000-8000 mPa · s between, and white buffalo horn viscosity range is wider, up to 500-10000 mPa · s.
• Hardness: black buffalo horn is hard, suitable for higher viscosity products; white buffalo horn is more supple, suitable as emulsion dispersion medium.
• Solubility: black buffalo horn in water solubility is higher, and has good stability; white buffalo horn solubility due to environmental factors, stability is poor.

1.3 chemical composition

• Ethanol content: black buffalo horn in ethanol content is higher (30%-70%), while white buffalo horn does not contain ethanol, are water-based.
• Oxidation stability: black buffalo horn oxidation stability is better, suitable for long-term storage and transportation; white buffalo horn is easy to oxidation decomposition, use should pay attention to timely treatment.

2. black buffalo horn and white buffalo horn industrial use distinction

2.1 industrial application features

• Black buffalo horn: mainly used in emulsion, solution preparation, because of its stable physical and chemical properties, commonly used in high viscosity dispersion system.
• White buffalo horn: widely used in emulsion, dispersion system and cosmetics preparation, because of its high solubility and processability, is the emulsion processing ideal choice.

22 Typical product comparison

• Black buffalo horn can be processed into high viscosity solution, solvent, used in oil exploration, pharmaceutical and other fields.
• White buffalo horn is commonly used in cosmetics, food additives and other emulsion products processing, because of its processing is simple, the application range is wider.

3. black buffalo horn and white buffalo horn of the advantages and disadvantages of contrast

3.1 advantages and disadvantages analysis

• Black Buffalo Horn:

• Advantages: good stability, low processing cost.

• Disadvantages: dark color, not suitable for some applications.

• White Buffalo Horn:

• Advantages: light color, flexible processing.

• Disadvantages: poor stability, high cost of use.

3.2 applicable scenarios

• Black Buffalo Horn is suitable for products that require stability and high viscosity, such as oil extraction emulsions.
• White buffalo horn is suitable for products that require high solubility and processing flexibility, such as cosmetic emulsions.

4. to choose black buffalo horn or white buffalo horn advice

In practical applications, the choice of black buffalo horn or white buffalo horn requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:

1. Product use: High viscosity black buffalo horn is suitable for dispersion system, while white buffalo horn is suitable for emulsion processing.
2. Use environment: The stability of black buffalo horn makes it suitable for storage and transportation.
3. Cost budget: black buffalo horn processing costs are lower, while white buffalo horn due to high solubility requirements cost is higher.

Conclusion

As two common horn forms, black buffalo horn and white buffalo horn have their own characteristics in the chemical industry. The stability of black buffalo horn makes it suitable for special processing scenarios, while the high solubility of white buffalo horn makes it important in emulsion processing. Choosing the right horn shape is not only related to product performance, but also directly affects production costs and operating efficiency. In practical applications, chemical practitioners need to scientifically select the appropriate horn shape according to product requirements and usage scenarios to maximize production efficiency.
