How to make Paraffin Wax Emulsions

In this video we demonstrate how a High Speed, High Shear Silverson mixer can be used to make Paraffin Wax Emulsions.

Mixing is usually carried out at temperature, so both phases are liquid when the emulsion is formed, but once cooled the wax particles solidify – so technically, they are fine suspensions of wax particles in water rather than emulsions.

So to ensure stability it’s essential to obtain the smallest possible particle size. A Silverson mixer is ideal for this. Find out more by watching the video or visit the Silverson website: https://www.silverson.com/.
