Procedure 1. Agitate water enough to create a vortex. A pitched angle, three blade mixer works well. Slowly sift the Carbopol powder over the vortex. A sieve or mesh screen is recommended for this. Continue to mix and speed up the mixer if necessary to ~1200 rpm until particles swell and become invisible. Reduce speed to ~300 rpm to prevent foaming and continue mixing to allow the Carbopol to hydrate. 2. Add ingredient 3 and mix. 3. Add ingredient 4 with mixing.

4. Add ingredient 5 with mixing. 5. Premix ingredients of phase B (until homogeneous). 6. Add phase B to phase A while mixing. 7. Premix phase C. Make sure to add Sodium Hydroxide to water slowly. Mix gently until dissolved. 8. Add phase C to the batch and continue to mix. The batch should become more viscous. pH should rise to 6.0-6.2.
