Material thickening

Add Xanthan Gum slowly to water with high speed mixing. Allow to mix until material thickens. Add remaining ingredients in order listed. If problems develop adding Xanthan Gum to water, premix the Xanthan Gum in some isopropanol before adding to water. 

Interface between Body and Vibrating Surface, Devices have been developed to measure the motion of the interface between the skin and a source of vibration in contact with the body, such as a vehicle seat pan or tool handle. The former consists of a flexible disk of mbberlike material thickened at the center, where an accelerometer is mounted. The dimensions have been standardized (ISO 7096, 1982). Attempts have been made to design transducer mounts for the palm of die hand to measure the vibration entering the hand from tool handles (see, fen example, ISO 10819,1997), and also the static compressive force (i.e., the combined grip and thrust forces exerted by the hand on the tool handle). The frequency response of one such device extends to more than 1 kHz (Gill-meister et al., 2001). 

When silica gel is heated to higher temperatures (100 to 1000° C) the cavity system undergoes change. The porous material thickens. Silica gel sinters and the causes of this sintering are ...

Non-soap greases using finely divided solids as thickeners are useful as lubricants at elevated temperatures. Materials used include organO Clays such as dimethyldioctyl-decyl-ammonium bentonite (Bentone greases) or selected dyestuffs which produce brightly coloured greases. 

Suitable protective coUoids for the preparation of acryhc suspension polymers include ceUulose derivatives, polyacrylate salts, starch, poly(vinyl alcohol), gelatin, talc, clay, and clay derivatives (95). These materials are added to prevent the monomer droplets from coalescing during polymerisation (110). Thickeners such as glycerol, glycols, polyglycols, and inorganic salts ate also often added to improve the quahty of acryhc suspension polymers (95). 

Cellulosics. CeUulosic adhesives are obtained by modification of cellulose [9004-34-6] (qv) which comes from cotton linters and wood pulp. Cellulose can be nitrated to provide cellulose nitrate [9004-70-0] which is soluble in organic solvents. When cellulose nitrate is dissolved in amyl acetate [628-63-7] for example, a general purpose solvent-based adhesive which is both waterproof and flexible is formed. Cellulose esterification leads to materials such as cellulose acetate [9004-35-7], which has been used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape backing. Cellulose can also be ethoxylated, providing hydroxyethylceUulose which is useful as a thickening agent for poly(vinyl acetate) emulsion adhesives. Etherification leads to materials such as methylceUulose [9004-67-5] which are soluble in water and can be modified with glyceral [56-81-5] to produce adhesives used as wallpaper paste (see Cellulose esters Cellulose ethers). 

In the case of thickeners, the process of compaction of the flocculated material is important. The floes settle to the bottom and gradually coalesce under the weight of the material on top of them. As the bed of flocculated material compacts, water is released. Usually the bed is slowly stirred with a rotating rake to release trapped water. The concentrated slurry, called the underflow, is pumped out the bottom. Compaction can often be promoted by mixing coarse material with the substrate because it creates channels for the upward flow of water as it falls through the bed of flocculated material. The amount of compaction is critical in terms of calculating the size of the thickener needed for a particular operation. The process of compaction has been extensively reviewed in the Hterature (41,42). 

Thickeners. These are used to kicrease viscosity of shampoos to achieve certain consistency characteristics ki the product, from a thickened Hquid to gels and pastes. Among the most important materials used for this purpose are the alkanolamides. The chain length of the amide alkyl group and its solubiHty ki the shampoo system are important aspects to be considered ki thek use for effects on viscosity. In general, as the chain length increases the viscosity response improves. The viscosity increase also is related to the water solubiHty of the amide the more water-soluble forms provide a lower viscosity response than the less soluble amides. 

The low molecular weight materials produced by this process are used as lubricants, whereas the high molecular weight materials, the polyisobutylenes, are used as VI improvers and thickeners. Polybutenes that are used as lubricating oils have viscosity indexes of 70—110, fair lubricating properties, and can be manufactured to have excellent dielectric properties. Above their decomposition temperature (ca 288°C) the products decompose completely to gaseous materials. 

Hydrated lime is also used to stabilize the calcium sulfite—sulfate sludge derived from thickeners at SO2 scmbbing plants that use limestone—lime. Hydrated lime (2—3%) is added to react with the gypsum sludge and flyash or other added siHceous material. Under ambient conditions the lime and siHca serve as a binder by reacting as calcium siHcates so that the material hardens into a safe, nonleaching, stable, sanitary landfill or embankment fill. 

The raw potassium manganate(VI) from the secondary roaster or the Hquid-phase oxidizer contains a fair amount of insoluble material such as unreacted MnO and ore gangue. In most continuous processes, these insolubles are removed by sedimentation using thickeners or filtration and are disposed of as waste. 

Solvent Evaporation. This encapsulation technology involves removing a volatile solvent from either an oil-in-water, oil-in-oil, or water-in-oH-in-water emulsion (19,20). In most cases, the shell material is dissolved in a volatile solvent such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. The active agent to be encapsulated is either dissolved, dispersed, or emulsified into this solution. Water-soluble core materials like hormonal polypeptides are dissolved in water that contains a thickening agent before dispersion in the volatile solvent phase that contains the shell material. This dispersed aqueous phase is gelled thermally to entrap the polypeptide in the dispersed aqueous phase before solvent evaporation occurs (21).
