How Emulsion Works (in Less Than 1 Minute)

If you took chemistry in high school, you probably learned that an emulsion was any colloidal suspension of a liquid in another liquid. What does that mean? Well, we weren’t sure back then and we’re definitely not sure now, but if you have just 60 seconds, we can teach you everything you need to know about emulsion as it applies to the magic of screen printing.

As it turns out, emulsion is the secret scientific ingredient in putting snazzy, custom logos on t-shirts, mugs, water bottles, and more. This video is a complete science lesson in just under a minute, but with fun cartoons instead of a boring lecture. Take that, chemistry class.

Thank you so much! I've been wondering how Photographic Emulsion works, and also the science behind it. But I could only find videos on how to screen print.
