Comments:

DEAE (Diethylamino ethanol) and AMP (2-amino 2 methyl 1- propanol) are common amines used in these formulas.

Procedure:
Mix oxidized Marcus Wax and Oleic acid and melt to a temperature of 125-135 oC. Stir in the amine and mix well to allow the amine to react with the fatty acid and oxidized polyethylene. Allowing the mix to cool somewhat during this time will reduce volatization of the amine.

After the amine has reacted - increase the melt temperature to 125-130 oC and slowly add the wax melt to an agitated vessel where demineralized water has been preheated to 95-98oC.

After all the wax melt has been added to the vessel the emulsion should be cooled rapidly while continuing to agitate. Improper agitation and/or slow cooling may result in crusting or creaming of the emulsion. Cooling can be facilitated by a double jacketed vessel or an external heat exchanger.

Following cooling to room temperature a bactericide can be added to aid shelf life of the emulsion. The emulsion should then be discharged and filtered
