OBJECT: | To improve uniformity of viscosity of solvated rubber adhesive. |
PROBLEM: | 100 HP HSD (high speed disperser) produced a viscosity range not uniform enough. |
RESULTS: | Product required reworking with additional solvent (Acetone). Percent solids dissolved at required viscosity suffered. |
AB MIXER: | Model C-3-2 installed with high speed disperser made available higher shear rate. |
EQUIPMENT REPLACED | Existing HSD required ½ speed. Energy saving! |
