  • How to reduce particle size of a mixture of 2 emulsions?

    I have a mixture of silicone emulsion and wax emulsion. Both have milky appearance. I need to reduce the particle size of the blend to make it a clear solution. How could I do that?

    I believe you want to make a microemulsion. If that’s the case, I don’t believe you can do that from already formed macroemulsions, since it’s not only the process but the formula that form a microemulsion (eg. Specific types of surfactants, co-surfactants, small molecules, etc).
