For example, milk is an emulsion of butterfat (dispersed) and water (continuous) with casein acting as the emulsifying agent. This type of emulsion is referred to as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. Most herbicidal emulsions are of the O/W type. 8, record 2, English, - oil%2Din%2Dwater%20emulsion

L'émulsion est un liquide formé d'au moins deux substances non miscibles, dont l'une est dispersée dans l'autre à l'état de gouttes très fines. Par exemple, lorsqu'on agite fortement de l'eau avec une faible quantité relative d'huile, cette dernière se disperse dans l'eau et donne une émulsion «huile dans eau», dont l'eau est la phase continue. Inversement, on peut obtenir une émulsion «eau dans huile» [...] 4, record 2, French, - %C3%A9mulsion%20de%20type%20aqueux
