- Application Details
- Rheology modifier for hard surface cleaners. Add the emulsion slowly to the solution with good agitation, preferably as the last ingredient prior to neutralization.
- Dilution of the ALCOGUM SL 117 with water can facilitate incorporation in viscous and/or alkaline formulations.
- Optimum viscosity build occurs at or above pH 8. For consistent performance avoid partial neutralization and poor mixing. 0.219 parts Ammonium Hydroxide (28%) to 1.0 part ALCOGUM SL 117 (as received) 0.130 part Sodium Hydroxide (50%) to 1.0 part ALCOGUM SL 117 (as received).

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- ALCOGUM SL 117 is available in bulk, intermediate bulk and 55-gallon drums. Storage tanks should be plastic, fiberglass, or 316 stainless. Pumps should be low-shear type, such as diaphragm or peristaltic type with all wetted parts and lines being stainless steel, plastic or Teflon® .
- Mild steel, copper, brass and aluminum should not be used. Filtering should be under low shear and volume flow conditions.
- Freezing should be avoided as it destabilizes the emulsion. The recommended storage temperature is 15-35°C (59-95°F).
- Dilution or pH adjustment of the product may require additional preservative to prevent biological growth. Keep containers tightly sealed to the prevent emulsion from air drying and forming a film.
