- Procedure to make transparent bathing bar from Galaxy SN 960 SF
- 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 960 SF
- 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 960 SF flakes for the stirrer to operate
- Then by maintaining temperature at 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 reactor temperature 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)
- Pour 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

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 Year
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- Store the material in a clean and dry place at 20-30°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 a rack
