Screen emulsions

The printability of the LEP ink is determined by a number of factors, including the viscosity of the ink, the solvent evaporation rate, and the interactions between the ink and the screen, emulsion, and substrate. Screen-printable solutions normally require considerably...

The major chemicals that compose standard solvent-borne screen printing inks include screen emulsions, solvents, surfactants, caustics, and oxidizers used in screen reclamation. These inks can vary dramatically in their formulations, primarily because of the wide range of different materials screen printers are likely to print on. Printing on paper uses a different ink than printing on textiles. Ink formulations also vary for plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, and so on. 

To remove the essential oil from the peel of citrus fruits, the oil glands, which are located in the flavedo (the outer coloured portion of the peel), are ruptured by mechanical systems. The oil is washed away with a spray of water to produce an oil-in-water emulsion with small peel particles. To prevent absorption of the essential oil by the spongy albedo (the iimer white portion of the peel), this emulsion is passed through a screening device (finisher) of 0.5 to 0.7 mm in diameter, which removes the coarsest particles of the fruit peels [12]. 

The dielectric constant can be used as a criterion for screening, ranking, and selecting demulsifiers for emulsion breaking. In a study, the dielectric constants of emulsions and demulsifiers were measured using a portable capacitance meter, and bottle tests were conducted according to the API specification [18]. The results showed that the dielectric constants can be used effectively to screen and rank demulsifiers, whereas a confirmatory bottle test should be conducted...
