Mixer and sprinkle material. Leave for 30 minutes until fully “wetted out.” Switch stirrer to low/moderate speed and commence heating to 80ºC. Phase 2— In a separate vessel add all the components of Phase B (materials 6,7,8,9,10,11,12). Commence heating to 80 ºC. Phase C—When both vessels are at 80 ºC, add phase 2 to the main batch and homogenize for 10 minutes. Adjust pH with potassium hydroxide and continue to homogenize for a further 5 minutes. Turn off the homogenizer and commence cooling with moderate mixing. When at 60ºC add 13, mix until uniform. When at 50 ºC add Components of Phase D (14 and 15), and mix until uniform. Continue to cool until room temperature. Adjust final pH to be in desired range.
