Diketahui :

 HLB Tween 80 = 15
 HLB Span 80 = 4,3
 Massa total emulator =3g
 HLB butuh yang dibuat = 11, 12, 13
 Minyak = 20 gram
 Air ad = 100 gram
Ditanya :
Massa masing-masing emulgator pada tiap emulsi dengan HLB 11, 12, dan 13?
Jawab :
Dimisalkan :
Massa Tween 80 =ag
Massa Span 80 = (3-a) g
 HLB 11
(massa Tween 80 × HLB Tween 80) + (massa Span 80 × HLB Span 80) =
(massa emulgator total × HLB Butuh)
(a gram × 15) + ((3-a) gram × 4,3) = 3 g × 11
15 a + 12,9 – 4,3 a = 33
15 a – 4,3 a = 33 - 12,9
10,7 a = 20,1
a = 1,879 gram
Berdasarkan perhitungan diperoleh :
Massa Tween 80 = a = 1,879 gram
Massa Span 80 = (3-a) = 3 gram – 1,879 gram = 1,121 gram
 HLB 12
(massa Tween 80 × HLB Tween 80) + (massa Span 80 × HLB Span 80) =
(massa emulgator total × HLB Butuh)
(a gram × 15) + ((3-a) gram× 4,3) = 3 gram × 12
15 a + 12,9 – 4,3 a = 36
15 a – 4,3 a = 36 - 12,9
 10,7 a = 23,1
a = 2,158 gram
Berdasarkan perhitungan diperoleh :
Massa Tween 80 = a = 2,158 gram
Massa Span 80 = (3-a) = 3 gram – 2,158 gram = 0,842 gram
 HLB 13
(massa Tween 80 × HLB Tween 80) + (massa Span 80 × HLB Span 80) =
(massa emulgator total × HLB Butuh)
(a gram × 15) + ((3-a) gram × 4,3) = 3 gram × 13
15 a + 12,9 – 4,3 a = 39
15 a – 4,3 a = 39 - 12,9
10,7 a = 26,1
a = 2,439 gram
Berdasarkan perhitungan diperoleh :
Massa Tween 80 = a = 2,439 gram
Massa Span 80 = (3-a) = 3 gram – 2,439 gram = 0,561 gram
