Technical Details & Test Data
- Effect Of Solids Concentration On Viscosity
HydrationStarBond polymer hydrates quickly due to its powder form.
Solution Preparation
The powder form of StarBond 150 is readily solubilized in water. To avoid lumping of polymer, preparation of aqueous solutions requires the addition of StarBond 150 to the vortex of mechanically agitated water. Maintain for a period of about 20 minutes to ensure separation and complete hydration of individual particles. Any agglomerates that initially form will break down with normal agitation and time.
Solution Preservation
Extended storage of StarBond 150 solutions could result in viscosity reduction due to microbial or enzymatic attack. Stored solutions should be protected by using a preservative. StarBond 150 is also available with built-in preservation.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Availability
StarBond 150 is available in 50 lb multi-wall poly-lined paper bags for truckload and LTL shipments.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
Because of the hygroscopic nature of StarBond, 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.
