Effect of Solids Concentration on Viscosity
Solution Preparation
GlucoSol 620 is easy to disperse and solubilize in water with minimal agitation. Agitation should be maintained for a period of about 30 minutes to ensure complete hydration of the polymer. The time and amount of agitation required will vary with solids concentration of the polymer. High solids and cold water make-up may necessitate longer mix times.
Effects of Shear on Viscosity
Effect of Temperature on Viscosity
Solution PreservationThe chemical substitution of GlucoSol 620 provides enhanced solution biostability. Extended storage could result in viscosity reduction due to microbial or enzymatic attack. Stored solutions should be protected by the use of a preservative. GlucoSol 620 is also available with a preservative treatment. Unique
Hydration
GlucoSol 620 exhibits a distinct hydration profile to allow the individual particles to briefly wet-out prior to rapid hydration of the polymer. This feature eliminates the formation of gel agglomerates typical of other watersoluble polymers.
Thixotropy Solutions of GlucoSol 620 exhibit near pseudoplastic behavior. Viscosity decreases with increasing shear and when the shear is removed the original viscosity is immediately recovered. Thixotropic solutions regain their original viscosity with a time element
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Availability
GlucoSol 620 is available in 50 lb. multi-wall poly-lined paperbags or 2000 lb supersacks for truckload and LTL shipments
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
GlucoSol 620 exhibits excellent storage stability if kept dry in its original package. Shelf life can be affected by storage conditions such as temperature, humidity, and overall surroundings of the storage area.
