Melting and Mixing Jordapon CI Prill
Hi, I am a first time poster yet long time lurker. I attempted to melt some SCI prills (w/ CAPB) in a beaker immersed in a boiling water bath. I was following suggestions by Swift.
I do not understand how this could be a viable method. The melting point info for this compound does not seem to be readily available. The source with the lowest melting listed is in the 150C range. Mixing by hand (Teflon paddle) seemed incomplete. I was left with small sharp pieces in what resembled a goo.
I was thinking of heating CAPB (mp in a beaker on a hot plate under overhead mixing (gentle). I would bring the Temperature up to 90 C or so and maintain it while gradually adding the prills. I know the CAPB is diluted with water.
Either way, what is the best method for melting the prills in larger amounts (multiple kilos) ? How is it done in industry? I am making Syndet Shampoo bars.Thanks
