- Formulations Guidelines
BENTONE LUXE WN is a high viscosity, shearthinning product. To ensure good homogeneous mixing is achieved, care must be taken to overcome the large viscosity differential existing between the BENTONE LUXE WN and the other lower viscosity components.
BENTONE LUXE WN should be added to the oil phase of the system under homogenization to ensure proper dispersion. Mix until homogeneous before adding the other ingredients.
