Yelkin Lecithin is a surface-active agent with unique properties, derived from soybeans. Yelkin lecithin can modify the boundary layers between many types of substtances. In the presence of two immiscible liquid phuses, Yelkin lecithin reduces the surface tension and acts as an emulsifier. When used between a solid and a liquid phase (instantizing) Yelkin lecithin acts as a wetting and dispersing agent. When used between solid phases Yelkin lecithin acts as a lubricant or release agent.
