Technical Details & Test Data
- Effect Of Solids Concentration On Viscosity
Solution Preparation
GlucoStar 1748 readily solubilizes in water. The flake form of GlucoStar 1748 makes it easy to disperse in water with minimal agitation without the formation of lumps. Maintain agitation for a period of about 30 minutes to ensure complete hydration of the flake particle. The character and amount of agitation required will vary with solids concentration of the polymer and water temperature. High solids and cold water make-up may necessitate longer agitation time.
Solution Preservation
GlucoStar 1748 is supplied with a preservative within the product. Under normal use conditions, GlucoStar 1748 solutions do not require additional preservative.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Availability
GlucoStar 1748 is available in 44 lb multi-wall poly-lined paper bags and 2,000 lb supersacks for truckload and LTL shipments.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
Because of the hygroscopic nature of GlucoStar 1748, it is highly recommended that the material be stored in its original package in a dry facility. Shelf life can be affected by storage conditions such as temperature, humidity and overall surroundings of the storage area. Long-term storage may lead to hardening of the material within the bag.
