Hello Everyone,
Can anyone suggest me an idea how can I increase the solid content of EVA while dissolving into 2-ethyl-1 -Hexanol.
Previously, I successfully prepared a solution of Pour Point Depressant of EVA (cloudy) by this procedure.
1) 10g of EVA (12% of VA) heated with 80g of 2-ethyl-1 -Hexanol at temperature 120C for about 1H and with speed of 750 rpm (clear solution)
2) Increase into high speed while cooling process into room temperature
This procedure has been repeated with increase the amount of EVA but the solution become solid/gel while cooling.
Should I introduce any surfactant for this solution so the droplet can be stabilize?
Mohd, you do need to stabilize the droplet. Elementis in the Netherlands uses a polymeric surfactant.
Hi Robert. Thank you for your feedbacks. Do you have any suggestion for polymeric surfactant that can be used in our system. In previous experiment, we have used SPAN 80 as surfactant.
