How to prepare a clear micro-emulsion:
Typical formulation & procedure:
Raw Materials | Wt% | Remarks |
POWSIL™-99010 | 10.0 | Silicone oil |
TDA-3 / AEO-3 | 1.30 | Emulsifier, HLB: 8.6 |
TDA-6 / AEO-6 | 2.50 | Emulsifier, HLB: 11.4 |
TDA-15 / AEO-15 | 1.30 | Emulsifier, HLB: 15.0 |
Butylcarbitol | 1.30 | Co-solvent (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether) |
Initial water | 10.0 | |
Acetic acid | 0.13 | |
Final water | Balance to 100% | |
Biocide | 0.02 |
Procedures:
Charge POWSIL™-99010, TDA-5, TDA-10 and Butyl Carbitol into a mixing tank, mix for 15-20 min;
Premix initial water and acetic acid to form an acidic solution. Charge the solution slowly into the soft grease. The charging should take about 30-60 minutes. After all of acidic solution has been added, continue to mix the content for 15 min to get a clear grease;
Start to add the final water under stirring;
Reduce the agitation speed after 3/4 of the final water has been charged. Continue to mix another 15 min after all the water has been charged;
Add biocide and mix for 10 minutes before drumming;
A clear emulsion will be obtained.
POWSIL™-99010 is supplied in 950Kg IBC Tote.
In the unopened original container POWSIL™-99010 has a shelf life of one year in a dry and cool place.
