Production of nanoscale emulsion

A method of producing a nanoscale tall oil pitch emulsion, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

• a) providing an aqueous solution of an alkaline agent, wherein the aqueous solution has a pH in the range of 8 to 13,
• b) providing tall oil rosin,
• c) mixing the tall oil rosin with the aqueous solution of the alkaline agent to produce a tall oil rosin solution,
• d) providing an organic solvent having a hydrocarbon chain of 1 to 6 carbons,
• e) mixing the organic solvent having a hydrocarbon chain of 1 to 6 carbons with the tall oil rosin solution to produce an organic solution-tall oil rosin solution,
• f) providing tall oil pitch,
• g) adding the tall oil pitch to the organic solution-tall oil rosin solution under homogenization in a homogenizer to produce the nanoscale tall oil pitch emulsion comprising tall oil pitch in an amount of 5-25 wt-%
• wherein the homogenizer is a sonicator.
