OBJECT: | Disperse 50% by weight graphite powder into water and carbomer thickeners. |
PROBLEM: | Graphite requires high shear energy input to fully disperse - - thickeners require active wetting. |
RESULTS: | First graphite is added in down-mode and fully dispersed using up-mode - - viscosity adding carbomers added at end of the process. |
AB MIXER: | Model C-3-2, 20 HP in 500 gallon vessel. |
BENEFIT: EQUIPMENT REPLACED | Full dispersion of all components in one hour. High speed dispersers. |
