Abstract: | In this paper the electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) measurements were performed to characterize changes of the zeta potential, iso electric point and the particle size of commercial paraffine wax aqueous emulsion Mobilcer C (Exxon Mobil) as induced by simple (1:1) electrolyte (KCl) and by pH of the continuous aqueous phase. The latter information arewere vital for better understanding problems of the colloidal stability of the studied paraffine emulsionssystem. It was found in this study, that the aqueous paraffine emulsion Mobilcer C (Exxon Mobil) was destabilized in the pH range of 3.5 to 7.5 for 1×10-4 M KCl solution and was subjected to partial preferential coagulation. This was an undesirable process leading to the decreased quality of the prepared coated paper sheets mainly due to the homogeneity and compactness of the final wax coatings. The best stability of the emulsion was found in all studied experiments (except 1×10-4 M KCl emulsion) in the pH range of 6 to 12, where zeta potential was ranging between -40 to -80 mV. | ||||||||||
