DIRECTIONS
-
Sprinkle Polymer on Water Surface: Begin by sprinkling Carbopol Polymer on the surface of the water. Allow it to self-wet naturally. Avoid vigorous agitation at this stage as it can produce foam.
-
Gently Agitate: Once the polymer has begun to hydrate, gently start the agitation process. This helps to evenly disperse the polymer without entrapping air.
-
Neutralization: Depending on your formulation needs, Carbopol Polymer can be neutralized either before or after other ingredients are added. Pre-neutralization is typically done for acidic formulations, while post-neutralization suits basic formulations.
-
Minimize Agitation: Keep agitation to a minimum as you add the remaining ingredients to your formulation. This helps to prevent air entrapment, ensuring a smooth and stable final product.
-
Add Preservatives: Incorporate typical preservatives into your formulation to ensure product safety and longevity.
SUGGESTED USAGE
We recommend that no more than 0.5% to 1.5% of this product to be added to any formulation.
