Silicone emulsions are used in a variety of applications like polishing, lubricating, and sealing. Measuring the particle size of silicone emulsions is important, as smaller size emulsions are generally clearer, more stable, and penetrate deeper into substrates. Using a technique like nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) can be useful in determining the efficiency of the emulsification process by having a higher resolution to accurately characterize the width and tails of the distribution, especially on the larger side.
In this application note, a silicone emulsion sample was measured with the ViewSizer 1000 Nanoparticle Tracking Analyzer.
