PROCESS TO PRODUCE STABLE COMPOSITION OF SURFACTANT AND SUSPENDING AGENT WITH GAS LEVEL DETERMINED BY GAS BUBBLE TEST

摘要

599223 A process that degasses a structured surfactant composition that comprises at least one surfactant, water, and at least one suspending agent chosen from polysaccharides, gums, and celluloses. By degassing the composition, the suspending agent can form a structured system. Gas, such as air bubbles, disrupts the formation of the structuring system, which reduces the ability of the composition to suspend materials. The process comprises steps of: mixing at least one surfactant, water, and at least one suspending agent chosen from polysaccharides, gums, and celluloses to form a liquid composition; degassing the composition; and measuring an amount of gas in the composition according to the Gas Bubble Test, and continuing steps b) and c) until a desired level of gas is reached.
