Abstract

The emulsifying powers of various water‐soluble cellulose ethers for mineral and vegetable oils are compared. The advantages of mixtures of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with other water‐soluble cellulose ethers in producing improved emulsions with reduced foam are shown. Consideration is given to the relative interfacial tensions of methyl ethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and to the effects of temperature and hydrogen ion concentration on emulsions prepared from them.
