PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DP300 is a dry, natural, organic low viscosity cellulose gum derivative. DP300 has versatile, fast-yielding properties which have proven useful in mineral processing.
MIXING AND FEEDING
When a solution is required DP300™ is best wetted with fresh water using a venturi-type eductor. DP300™ is usually diluted to 0.1% to 2.0% by weight with water and allowed to hydrate for 0.5-1 hour before use. DP300™ hydrates more rapidly under a high shear mix condition. The viscosity of DP300™ solutions increase with concentration in an exponential manner. Planning of mixing and feed systems should take into account the viscosity characteristics. When dry applications are needed DP300™ can be relied upon to yield quickly, offering a reduced residence time over many other polymers.
SPOILAGE
DP300™ is a natural, organic polymer that is resistant spoilage. Periodic cleaning of mixing and storage tanks will reduce potential for spoilage.
BENCH TESTING
Good planning starts with bench scale testing. Bench tests of DP300™ can be used to determine the optimum ranges of feed rates, dilution rates, addition locations and sequences. When DP300™ is used in conjunction with other polymers, the order of addition should be tested. In some systems the best results are achieved by separate, sequential feeds.
SAFETY
DP300™ is non-polluting and non-toxic. It is biodegradable, so disposal problems are reduced. Fugitive dust should be avoided due to potential explosion and sensitization hazard. Wet powder will become very slippery. Store in cool dry place. Refer to SDS for specific information.
