STORAGE RECOMMENDATION
Freezing or long term cold storage of ACUMER
9300 may cause some separation of the components.
Although product performance is not impaired as
long as the whole container is heated and well mixed,
it is recommended to keep ACUMER 9300 out of
freezing.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Caution : - Contact may cause eye irritation and
slight skin irritation.

CHEMISTRY AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

ACUMER

9300 is the sodium salt of a polyacrylic acid

selected for optimizing the factors affecting dispersancy :
- polymer molecular weight
- polymer composition
- polymer structure
- mode of surface adsorption
DISPERSION PERFORMANCE
Without dispersant, the particles in a slurry aggregate
resulting in an unstable slurry with unacceptable
high viscosity.
ACUMER

9300 mining polymer stabilizes high

solids slurries and allows lowering the viscosity to relatively low levels at the time of initial formulation and
maintains a low viscosity during storage.
DOSAGE
ACUMER 9300 is effective at low dosage between 0.2
to 0.6 % polymer solids on slurry solids depending on
the nature of the slurry and on the grinding (coarse
or fine particles).
APPLICATIONS
ACUMER 9300 can be used efficiently for the dispersion of different slurries

- Contact with skin : wash skin thoroughly with soap

and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before rewearing.
- Contact with eyes: flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes and then call a physician.
- If swallowed : if victim is conscious, dilute the liquid by giving the victim water to drink and then
call a physician. If the victim is unconscious, call a
physician immediately. Never give an unconscious
person anything to drink.
Toxicity : - Acute oral (LD50) rats : > 5g/kg.
