Emulsifier for paraffin
(OP)
Can anybody tell me what emulsifier to use to emulsify paraffin wax and what process and PH must be maintained?
I have a problem with shocking the PH of emulsions I buy
making them useless, so I thought I should try to make my own if it is a mixing process. I can buy melted wax locally.

to find a suitable emulsifier for paraffin wax you can apply the HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) concept. I would look for an emulsifier with a HLB value near 8.

Can I approximate this with something crude?

What about switching from wax in water to wax in mineral oil and just heat it up?

It didn't work. It stayed soft for an hour, then got
too hard to be considered emulsified.
Not very paintable that way.
