Appearance | Usually presented in powder or granulated form. Some variants might appear as cream - colored granules. |
Particle Size | Specific values vary by product type. For some versions, ≤75 µm particles may account for ≤5%, while particles ≤1180 µm could be >95%. |
pH (1% Aqueous Solution) | Generally, it falls within the range of 6.0 - 8.0, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of formulations. |
Brookfield Viscosity | When measured as a 1% solution in 1% KCl, using a Brookfield LV viscometer at 60 rpm with spindle n° 3, the viscosity is typically in the range of 1200 - 1600 cp. This viscosity range is ideal for its thickening applications. |
Solubility | It is soluble in water or specific solvents relevant to its application. Once dissolved, it forms a viscous colloidal solution that can effectively thicken the system. |
Shelf Life | Under proper storage conditions, it has an approximate shelf life of 24 months, ensuring long - term usability for manufacturers. |
