l
Dispersions
made with NM-Carbomer 2020 may appear to be non-uniform, with visible aggregate
particles which may settle into a separate phase when not mixed. In order to
achieve a homogeneous dispersion without phase separation, it is recommended to
prepare with dispersion with a minimum polymer concentration of 2% by weight.
l
In
systems with high concentration of surfactants, neutralization is preferred to
be carried out before addition of surfactants. Otherwise the high concentration
of surfactants especially catatonics and secondary surfactants would prevent
the uncoiling of the polymer, affecting the viscosity, yield value and clarity
of the end product.
