| OBJECT: | Complete dispersion with no aeration of Carbopol 910 in water at 7% concentration. | 
| PROBLEM: | Aqueous pigment slurry and CMC prepared in 300 gallon reactor containing axial flow turbine.  Cannot use this mixing method with Carbopol 910.  Dry lumps are producted and concentration maximum limited. | 
| SOLUTION: | Model D-6000 Vacuum Dispershear installed above batch vessel. | 
| AB MIXER: | Model D-6000 Vacuum Dispershear      | 
| BENEFITS: | Vacuum Dispershear prepared 7% Carbopol 910 in water at 10 gpm. and dispensed into reactor.  Higher quality pigment dispersion possible when Carbopol replaces CMC. |
