Procedure 1. Charge Deionized Water. Activate mixing from moderate to high speed, taking precautions to
avoid splashing and aeration. If necessary, mild heating may be employed to accelerate ingredient
mixing.
2. Slowly disperse Carbopol ETD 2020 Polymer into the vortex. Check for any clumping before
adding additional polymer.
3. With good agitation, continue mixing 20–30 minutes until the viscosity of the solution increases.
No particles should be present.
4. Add the Sodium Hydroxide - 50% Solution. The viscosity of the solution will increase. Continue
mixing at low-to-moderate speed.
5. Add STEPAN MILD® PCL, mixing until homogenous while avoiding aeration.
6. Add AMPHOSOL® CS-50. Mix until homogenous. Avoid aeration.
7. In a separate small container, weigh the N-Hance™ 3196 Cationic Guar. Then add
STEPAN-MILD® L3, mixing until combined. When thoroughly mixed, add to the batch.
8. Continue mixing for approximately 30 minutes.
9. Add Zinc Pyrithione and continue mixing.
10. Add Dow Corning® 2-1491 Emulsion, mixing for another 20 minutes.
11. Use Sodium Hydroxide - 50% Solution to adjust pH to 5.5–6.5.
12. Add Preservatives, Fragrance, and Dye. Continue mixing another 20 minutes until
homogenous.
