Technical Details & Test Data
- Effect Of Solids Concentration On Viscosity
Hydration
GlucoStar C500F exhibits a delayed hydration profile due to its flake form, avoiding any formation of lumps. However, slightly longer mixing times may be necessary to fully solubilize the flake polymer.
Solution Preparation
GlucoStar C500F is easy to disperse and solubilize in water with minimal agitation. Lumping is not an issue. 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
The chemical substitution of GlucoStar C500F provides enhanced solution bio-stability. Extended storage of solutions could result in viscosity reduction due to microbial or enzymatic attack. Stored solutions should be protected by the use of a preservative. GlucoStar C500F is available with a preservative treatment.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Availability
GlucoStar C500F is available in 44 lb multi-wall poly-lined paper bags for truckload and LTL shipments.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
Because of the hygroscopic nature of GlucoStar C500F, 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.
