What You Need to Know
The rapid shear forces generated at 10,000–30,000 rpm break oil droplets into sub‑5 µm sizes, creating a log‑normal size distribution that resists creaming. The process relies on interfacial tension reduction and kinetic stabilization, with the aqueous phase acting as a continuous medium that traps dispersed droplets.
The Science
Primary Reaction
