TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance Light to Dark Liquid

Bulk Density 1.2 g/cc

Ionic Character Nonionic

pH 3.3 0.5

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

XL™ is an insolublizing additive for guar gum solutions. XL™ can be used to increase solution

viscosity and/or to decrease the solubility of the guar polymer once cured.

Specific conditions may exist for erosion control that requires long term matrix stabilization.

XL™ is used to insolublize the guar polymer, thus increasing the longevity of its adhesion qualities.

Once cured, the guar gum based tackifier will resist re-wetting for an extended period of time.

PREPARATION

For erosion control the liquid XL™ is added to the water prior to the guar gum tackifier.

It is recommended that XL™ be added at 40% of the guar, ie. for a 40% rate, 20 lbs of

XL™ is added per 50 lbs of guar.

STORAGE & HANDLING

XL™ should be stored in a dry, cool warehouse protected from damage to packaging.

SAFETY

See Material Safety Data Sheet.

PACKAGING

XL™ is packaged in 1 gallon (10lbs per gallon) plastic containers, 4 gallons per case.
