Formulation Procedure

Procedure (Hot Process)

  1. Mix ingredients of phase A1 until complete dispersion.
  2. Preblend ingredients of phase A2.
  3. Add this preblend to phase A1 and mix until a homogeneous gel is obtained (Silverson / Ultra-Turrax 7 min at 7,000 rpm).
  4. Adjust pH to 6.5 with phase A3.
  5. Heat phase A to 80°C.
  6. Mix ingredients of phase B under normal agitation and heat to 75°C.
  7. When both phases are at their required temperature, add phase B to phase A and homogenize (Silverson / Ultra-Turrax 5 min at 5,500 rpm) then cool down to RT using anchor pale stirrer.
  8. Mix ingredients of phase C and homogenize (Silverson / Ultra-Turrax 3 min at 6,000 rpm).
  9. Slowly add phase C to the main vessel while mixing.
  10. Adjust pH to 7.2 with phase D.
  11. Preblend ingredients of phase E and add them to the main vessel while mixing.
  12. Add ingredients of phase F in the order listed while mixing.
