PREPARATIVE PROCEDURE

1 To a secondary vessel add phase A and start mixing. Add phase B and heat to 55°C. Stop heating after all solids have dissolved. 2 To the main vessel add phase C, start mixing and then add phase D items. 3 When both phases are homogeneous slowly add phase AB to phase CD with prop mixing. 4 When the emulsion is fully formed (white and thickened; 20 minutes or longer, as necessary), continue mixing until batch is smooth.
