The emulsion includes water droplets of about 5 to about 10 microns in diameter, the droplets being dispersed substantially uniformly in the hydrocarbon oil phase.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 20, 2004 and granted July 9, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 20, 2024.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
