- Procedure to make transparent bathing bar from SN 937 Plus
- Use SS 304 / 316 jacketed reactor with anchor / paddle / gate type stirrer (low rpm); all fittings, gauges should be of stainless steel. Do not use Brass or Aluminium
- The reactor to be cleaned thoroughly with steam. It should be odourless before melting Galaxy SN 937 Plus
- Ideally batch size can be 70 - 80% of the reactor capacity. Use low pressure steam / hot water (80 - 85°C) for melting
- Initially melt sufficient amount (approx. 50%) of Galaxy SN 937 Plus flakes for the stirrer to operate.
- Then by maintaining temperature between 70 - 75°C keep adding remaining quantity of flakes
- Excessive heating / higher temperature may cause colour and water loss, resulting in translucent or opaque product
- Moisture content in the final bathing bar shall be at 25 to 27%. Monitor the same and make up, if required before putting the molten mass into the moulds
- Make 2 to 4 % solution of the selected colour in water. In case of oil soluble colours, make colour solution in perfume / propylene glycol. Generally, 10 - 20 ppm of colour gives desired shade. Mix the mass uniformly
- Maintain temperature in the reactor at 70 - 75°C. Start addition of perfume. Since colour of perfume can affect transparency; choose light coloured perfume
- Stop heating and mixing / stirring and keep the molten mass as is for 4 - 5 minutes to remove air bubbles / foam. If foam does not vanish off, try to scrap out and remove (if possible)
- Drain the material in suitable moulds
- Start cooling the mould system with water. Cooling with chilled water (4 - 5°C) enhances transparency
- The product would start solidifying at 58 - 62°C. Finish of the bar would depend on quality of the moulds
- Once cooled, bar can be stamped, which improves transparency. In manual stamping, smearing the die with a drop of glycerin further enhances transparency
- Ensure that changeover cleaning of the reactor is perfect
- Transparent bar is ready

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
Spills should be contained / collected and disposed off as per the regulations. Avoid ingestion and direct inhalation (when concentration in air is high, use appropriate mask) and also avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice, if necessary.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 Year
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- Store the material in a clean and dry place at <30°C away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Keep the bags tightly closed to avoid moisture loss.
- Once the bag is opened, use/consume the product within a month.
- In original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, shelf life of the product is one year.
- If stored above 30°C, there is possibility of colour deterioration and lumping.
- During storage, to avoid lumping, stack maximum 8 bags (non-palletized) and for palletized, single pallet on ground or in the rack
