FagronLab™ BASIC
Suspension > 2 %
With the mixing parameters "Suspension > 2 %" solid substances of more than 2 % can be incorporated into foundation.
As an example, the incorporation of zinc oxide, salicylic acid or bismuth gallate in foundation. To ensure a homogeneous
distribution we recommend using the standard mixing blade.
For suspensions with ingredient content above 2 % pre-grinding process is not required.
In preparation, add 50 % of the required foundation ground-covering into the jar and the micronized solids to the middle. Add the
remainder of the base on top of the ingredients in order to avoid remaining powder sticking to the blades
The jar bottom should be pushed up as far as possible to prevent incorporating air.
Compounds with a higher content of solids, e.g. pastes, warming of the compound during the mixing process may occur. This
temperature rise may be reduced applying cooled foundation or using a cooling cuff.
Emulsion (solution ointment)
With the mixing parameters "Emulsion" liquid components can be incorporated into hydrophilic foundations at room
temperature.
As an example, the preparation of aqueous hydrophilic ointment, aqueous lanolin alcohol ointment or eucerin c. aqua aa. To
ensure a homogenous distribution we recommend applying disp. blades for jar sizes up to 200 ml and the standard mixing blades
for larger batches.
First, weigh out the entire amount of required foundation ground-covering inside the jar.
Then add the required amount of liquid or solution by room temperature.
The jar bottom should be pushed up as far as possible to prevent incorporating air.
In some cases emulsifying refrigerated foundations can cause difficulties. In this case the process of emulsification can be
accelerated by adding the required liquid warmed.
