Fish eves

Flocculants from polymer suppliers come in several forms. A large amount is supplied in solid form, as powder, granules, or beads. An equally large amount is supplied as solutions, emulsions, or more commonly dispersions, in concentrations from around 15% up to 50% of polymer in the dispersant. The solid products require the most care when being dissolved. Without such care, pockets of undissolved powder will form, surrounded by a partially dissolved jelly-like mass, making further solution impossible. These pockets when small are sometimes known as fish eves .
