Emulsion (Beauty)

A suspension of tiny globules of one liquid in a second liquid (separation results - ingredients will not mix). An example would be oil and vinegar.

Emulsion (Car Care)

Intimate mixture of oil and water, generally of a milky or cloudy appearance. Emulsions may be of two types: oil-in water (where water is the continuous phase) and water-in-oil (where water is the discontinuous phase).

Emulsion (Carpet)

1. A suspension of finely divided liquid droplets in a second liquid, i.e., oil in water or vice versa. 2. Two or more liquids that do not dissolve in each other but are held in suspension, one in the other. 3. A colloidal dispersion of one liquid within another (usually lipids or oils in water) without forming a compound or solution; e.g., milk is animal fat emulsified in water. See emulsification.

Emulsion (Cinematography)

The gelatine layer of photo-sensitive material in which the image is formed on film. (Film)

Emulsion (Culinary)

A mixture of oil and water which does not separate

Emulsion (Dairy Production)

A suspension of one liquid in another. Milk is an emulsion of fat droplets in a water solution.

Emulsion (Digital Imaging)

Coating on the light-sensitive material. The opposite side of the base.

Emulsion (Explosives)

A blasting agent in which the AN is encapsulated by the fuel in an emulsion of water in oil.
An explosive material containing substantial amounts of oxidizers dissolved in water droplets, surrounded by an immiscible fuel.

Emulsion (Film)

The thin layer of silver attached to the base which, when exposed and developed, creates the film image through the areas of silver, which block light, and the clear areas which allow light to pass through.

Emulsion (Film Production)

The gelatine layer of photo-sensitive material in which the image is formed on film. (Film)

Emulsion (Food)

A mixture of one liquid with another with which it cannot normally combine smoothly-oil and water being the classic example. Emulsifying is done by slowly (sometimes drop-by-drop) adding one ingredient to another while at the same time mixing rapidly. This disperses and suspends minute droplets of one liquid throughout the other. Emulsified mixtures are usually thick and satiny in texture. Mayonnaise (an uncooked combination of oil, egg yolks and vinegar or lemon juice) and Hollandaise Sauce (a cooked mixture of butter, egg yolks and vinegar or lemon juice) are two of the best-known emulsions.

Emulsion (HIV and AIDs)

A suspension of droplets of one liquid in another liquid (such as oil and water). The two liquids do not actually combine but are instead suspended within one another.

Emulsion (Health and Beauty)

A suspension of tiny globules of one liquid in a second liquid (separation results - ingredients will not mix). An example would be oil and vinegar.

Emulsion (Import Cars)

A fluid substance containing one liquid disbursed and suspended in another, rather than dissolved.

Emulsion (Natural Soap)

A mixture of two normally un-mixable liquids in which one liquid is dispersed in the other liquid as very fine droplets. Many synthetic food products are emulsions: for example, French dressing is an emulsion of vegetable oil in vinegar. An emulsion can be attained by vigorous shaking (as in oil and vinegar dressing) although emulsifying agents are often used to help form the emulsion and stabilizing agents are used to help maintain it and keep it from separating. Many cosmetics are also emulsions: some are oil-in-water emulsions (where the oil is dispersed in the water, such as foundation creams or some lotions); others are water-in-oil emulsions (where the water is dispersed in the oil, such as cold creams). Emulsions can be broken up by heat or mechanical agitation: butter is formed by de-emulsifying milk. Note: All of our creams are water-in-oil emulsions.

Emulsion (Nutrition)

A combination of two liquids that do not mix with each other, such as oil and water, one substance is broken into tiny droplets and is suspended within the other. Emulsification is the first step in digestion of fats.

Emulsion (Paint)

A mixture (usually milky-white) in which one liquid is dispersed (but not dissolved) in another. A latex paint or caulk binder is often referred to as an emulsion, even though it is a dispersion of solid polymer particles in a liquid (water). In Europe, latex paints are often referred to as "emulsion paints."

Emulsion (Photography)

The light-sensitive layer of film or paper. In black and white films the emulsion usually consists of very fine grain of silver halide suspended in gelatin, Which blacken when exposed to light. The emulsion of colour films contains molecules of dye in addition to the silver halide.

Emulsion (Publishing)

Coating of light sensitive chemicals on papers, printing plates, stencils, and film.

Emulsion (Roofing)

In roofing, a coating consisting of asphalt and fillers suspended in water.

Emulsion (Scanner)

The coating of light-sensitive material on a piece of film.

Emulsion (Science)

Suspension of one liquid in another liquid
