Comment l'utiliser
La ligne Ajouter à de la spécification est celle qu'il faut lire en premier. L'ajout d'ingrédients en phase aqueuse à une phase huileuse chaude est la cause la plus fréquente de séparation d'un mélange.
Mesurez le produit fini, pas le prémélange. En dehors de cette plage, l'activité diminue et, pour certains matériaux, c'est la voie de dégradation qui est à l'origine des réclamations.
Passez ensuite aux tests de stabilité et de compatibilité. Plus élevé ne signifie pas meilleur, et la limite du marché de destination peut être inférieure à votre plafond de formulation.
