OBJECT: | Disperse polyacrylic resin powder (carbomer Carbopol 940) into water. Add triethanolamine tea along with color dye and fragrance. |
PROBLEM: | Dispersion of fine light powder forms small persistent specks (fish eyes) that are difficult to deagglomerate. |
RESULTS: | Reversible Homogenizer is able to draw in and wet out powders and smooth out before highest viscosity occurs with addition of triethanolamine. |
AB MIXER: | Model C-3-2 in 1,000 gallon vessel. |
EQUIPMENT REPLACED | Turbine/propeller mixer |
