Emulsification, agents for

Emulsions. The fatty acid soaps of alkanolamines ate excellent emulsification agents for use in such products as floor poHshes, cosmetics, and functional fluids such as hydrauhc and metalworking fluids. For example, improved hardwater stabiUty of a hydrauhc fluid emulsion is obtained using AMP in the formulation (12). 

Use Foam producer in fire extinguishers, detergent in textile industries, sizing, substitute for soap, emulsification agent for fats and oils. 

The exercise of preparing emulsions using oils-mixed additives is well described in Emulsification and Polymerization of Alkyd Resins (Gooch 1980, 2002), although without the addition of acidic or cationic agents for the purpose of inhibiting or destroying bacteria. 

Jurkat cells have been lysed in a flow stream in a glass microchip for cell content analysis. After cell lysis, the two preloaded fluorescent dyes and their metabolites were released from the cells and separated by CE (see Figure 8.36). To prevent cell adhesion, the glass channel surface was modified by adsorbing Pluronic F-127 to the channels. In addition, to avoid blockage of adhered cell debris and to improve migration time stability, an emulsification agent, such as Pluronic P84, was added to the separation buffer [1176],... 

BORCODYE D-6-LF is a new leveling agent for disperse and acid dyes on acetate and nylon and on blends with natural fibers. It offers outstanding emulsification and dispersion properties and also acts as an anti-precipitant. 

Application Used as a dispersible surfactant in the emulsification of mineral oils. A softener and antistatic agent for textiles. Soluble in aromatic solvents. Used for formulating lubricants for synthetic and wool fibers. 

Emulsification—the formation of emulsions from two immiscible liquid phases—is probably the most versatile property of surface-active agents for practical applications and, as a result, has been extensively studied. Paints, polishes, pesticides, metal cutting oils, margarine, ice cream, cosmetics, metal cleaners, and textile processing oils are all emulsions or are used in emulsified form. Since there are a number of books and chapters of books devoted to emulsions and emulsification (Sjoblom, 1996 Solans and Kunieda, 1996 Becher, 2001), the discussion here covers only those aspects of emulsification that bear on the role of surfactants in this phenomenon. 

De-emulsification is important, for example in the oil industry. Agents for this purpose have to be capable of displacing the stabilising surfactant, leaving a non-stabilising interface. The... 

OTHER COMMENTS used as a solvent for nitrocellulose resins, spray lacquers, quickdrying lacquers, varnishes, enamels, varnish removers, and dry-cleaning compounds mutual solvent for soluble mineral oils to hold soap in solution, and to improve emulsification use to make acetate esters as well as phthalate and stearate plasticizers preferred coupling agent for many water-based coatings. 

Starch added as an emulsification agent makes little or no contribution to inter-fibre bonding. When a size emulsion droplet is retained on a fibre surface, upon rupture of the droplet the encapsulating starch attached to the fibre surface remains covered with the hydrophobic size and is unable to contribute to fibre bonding. Such starch should not be included when considering the starch requirements for increased paper strength. 

Waxy solid form of AEROSOL OT. Used for emulsification, dispersion, lubricating, wetting and water displacement. Excellent mold release properties. Surface active agent for water-free systems. 

TRITON Anionic Surfactants GR-5M and GR-7M are particularly useful as wetting and rewetting agents for paint and textile applications and other processes requiring emulsification and dispersion performance.
