- Application Details
- Add the emulsion slowly to the solution with good agitation, preferably as the last ingredient prior to neutralization. Dilution of the Alcogum® L 520 with water can facilitate incorporation in viscous and/or acid formulations.
- Optimum viscosity build occurs at or below pH 6. For consistent performance avoid partial neutralization and poor mixing. 0.030 parts Acetic Acid to 1.0 part Alcogum® L 520 (as received) Rheology modifier for I&I, fabric softeners, auto-dishwashing, bowl cleaners, and light duty liquids.

Packaging & Availability
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- ALCOGUM L 520 is available in bulk, intermediate bulk and 55-gallon drums. Storage tanks should be plastic, fiberglass, or 316 stainless.
- Pumps should be low-shear type, such as diaphragm or peristaltic type with all wetted parts and lines being stainless steel, plastic or Teflon. Mild steel, copper, brass and aluminum should not be used.
- Filtering should be under low shear and volume flow conditions. Freezing should be avoided as it destabilizes the emulsion. The recommended storage temperature is 15-35°C (59-95°F).
- Dilution or pH adjustment of the product may require additional preservative to prevent biological growth. Keep containers tightly sealed to the prevent emulsion from air drying and forming a film.
