    Because emulsions are heterogeneous dispersions, they are sensitive to temperature, shear, and time. Poor storage conditions can lead to separation or coalescence. During application, excessive pumping or heating can destabilize the system. Proper tank design, gentle agitation, and adherence to recommended temperature ranges are essential to maintain stability and predictable breaking behavior.
