👉 A mixing fluid, also known as an emulsifier or dispersant, is a substance used to blend two or more immiscible liquids into a stable mixture, known as an emulsion. In industrial and biological contexts, it helps prevent the separation of these liquids by reducing surface tension and forming a protective layer around the dispersed particles, thereby stabilizing the mixture. Common examples include detergents, which are used to mix water and oil-based substances, and food additives like lecithin, which help stabilize emulsions in products such as mayonnaise and salad dressings. The fluid's role is crucial for maintaining the desired consistency, texture, and functionality of the final product.
