OBJECT: | Disperse polyethylene oxide powder (Polyox) into water and then add a volatile fragrance. Mixture is subsequently blended into polyurethane foam. |
PROBLEM: | Polyox is difficult to disperse because viscosity rises quickly to a stiff gel consistency. |
RESULTS: | Polyethylene oxide powder is pulled in with “down mode” and then homogenized with the “up mode” at full speed. |
AB MIXER: | Model C-1-2 on 100 pound (dry basis) batch. |
BENEFIT: EQUIPMENT REPLACED | Polyox micro encapsulates fragrances into foam structure so a timed release effect is obtained. New installation |
