Are there additives in each particular emulsion layer that prevent mixing (different specific gravity)?

Or is it that you can just layer one emulsion on top of another, providing you chill the emulsion stack very soon afterwards that the layers remain separate before mixing has a chance to occur?
My guess is it's all about getting the head design and flow rate right so that you achieve laminar flow (i.e. no turbulence.)
