Procedure

With high shear agitation, combine water and Purethix and begin heating to 60˚C. Homomix if necessary to completely disperse Purethix. Once Purethix is completely dispersed add Dissolvine.  In a separate vessel premix phase A-2.  When phase A-1 is smooth and homogeneous add phase A-2 and stir with appropriate shear to avoid aeration. Heat to 80˚C. At 80˚C add AMP. In a separate vessel combine all phase B ingredients and heat to 80˚C and stir until completely melted. Add phase B to Phase A and stir until smooth and homogeneous.  Premix phase C-1 and slowly add to Phase A/B at 80˚C. Homomix to disperse pigment if needed. Cool batch to 60˚C.  Add the Optiphen, then slowly add Syntran PC 5775 and stir until batch is smooth and homogeneous. Homomix again if needed. Cool to 40-45˚C and individually add each Phase D ingredient. Adjust pH to 7.75 if necessary.  Final pH to 7.5 – 8.0.

Properties

Final pH—7.5–8.0; Appearance—Light Tan emulsion; % Solids—40%; pH value at 22°C—8.2; Viscosity @ 22°C:—100 mPa.
