Preparation Tips
Add TEGO® Carbomer 341 ER early in the formulation to allow it time to thoroughly wet out and disperse. Use propeller stirrer. Dissolver or rotor-stator-homogenizer may be used as well. Intensive shear may lead to a viscosity reduction of the final product and should be avoided. Neutralize near the end of the process so that all of the ingredients can mix well before the viscosity is increased. For neutralization use triethanolamine, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, sodium hydroxide, or other inorganic bases. It may also be dispersed directly into mineral oil or ester oils just before manufacturing
