Emulsions

The application of emulsions on surfaces plays an important role in various industrial and technological processes. Emulsions, consisting of a stable mixture of two immiscible liquids, are used specifically to influence the properties of surfaces.

In surface technology, emulsions are often used to ensure an even distribution of substances on workpieces. This can serve to reduce friction, prevent corrosion or improve specific mechanical properties. The targeted application of oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions can be used to achieve different surface finishes.

One example is the use of emulsions in metalworking. Here they are used to protect the surface of workpieces during the machining process and at the same time improve the performance of the tools. The emulsion forms a protective layer on the surface of the metal, reduces friction and thus enables more precise machining processes.

Emulsions are also used in cleaning technology. By applying them specifically to soiled surfaces, grease residues can be effectively dissolved and removed. This is particularly important in the industrial cleaning of plant and machinery.

The stability and composition of emulsions play a decisive role in their application to surfaces. The selection of the right emulsion types and concentrations is determined by the specific requirements of the process and the desired effects on the surface. Through precise control and customization, emulsions can make a significant contribution to improving surface properties in various industries.
