Emulsifiers

Emulsifiers are used to stabilise an emulsion between water and oil based products.  Typically an emulsifier is a surfactant.  Emulsifiers are used to improve formulation stability in metalworking fluids, cleaners, coatings and inks.  Selecting an emulsifier depends on properties desired for the end product.
