KOH 0.4 gm
0.4 gm
Water 1 gm
1 gm
Melt SAVOX wax at 120-125°C.
Take 75 gm water in separate beaker and start heating to get the temperature upto 95 deg C. Maintain the temperature.
Make KOH solution in water. I.e. KOH 0.4 gm + 1 gm water
Add KOH solution slowly to molten wax while stirring and adjust pH to 7-8.
Add NP-9.5 while stirring maintaining temperature of 120-125°C.
Stir well for 10 Minutes.
Add this mixture into 75 gm water preheated to 95°C with high speed stirring (>1500 RPM).
Maintain temperature 92-95°C. (Slight excess water may be taken initially to account for any water lost due to evaporation.
Continue high speed stirring for 15 Minutes at 92-95°C.
Cool it to almost ambient temperature and filter and keep in a tightly closed container till use.
Note: - This 25% emulsion can be diluted with water to lower concentrations, if required.
