- Applications Information
Water-in-silicone emulsions can be easily prepared by slow addition of the aqueous phase to the oil phase using a variety of common mixing devices.; The stability of the emulsions increases with the amount of shear used to form them.; Since the aqueous phase is the internal phase of these emulsions, increasing the proportion of water will increase the viscosity of a given formulation.
