ME Surfactants

Microemulsions (ME)

MEs represent water-based formulations characterized by their exceptionally small emulsified droplet size, resulting in a transparent appearance.

Their remarkable thermodynamic stability across a broad temperature spectrum is attributed to these minute droplets, typically ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 μm. Unlike other emulsion systems where oil droplets can gradually merge, leading to phase separation, ME formulations remain immune to such issues.
