OBJECT:
|
Disperse 50% by weight graphite powder into water and carbomer thickeners.
|
|
PROBLEM:
|
Graphite requires high shear energy input to fully disperse - - thickeners require active wetting.
|
|
RESULTS:
|
First graphite is added in down-mode and fully dispersed using up-mode - - viscosity adding carbomers added at end of the process.
