General guidelines for the UNGUATOR
®
Mixing System
and SUPPOSITORIES. Powder mixings fall under NORMAL since their mixing process
is similar. In the following, these standard formulations will be defined and the
recommended procedure on weighing in described. This will produce a code of practice
for orientation. This does not exclude other possible methods for optimization.
For mixtures with high liquid content, ensure that foundation ointment on the
UNGUATOR
®
Jar bottom is first carefully placed around the sealing lip. This enhances
the leak tightness of the jar the UNGUATOR
®
Jar is filled. For UNGUATOR
®
Jars of
200 ml and up an active ingredient proportion of less than 5 %, the active ingredient
can be filled alternating with the foundation ointment over two or more levels to speed
up vertical intermixture.
2.2.1 Emulsion
Emulsifying semisolid substances with water at room temperature
Example:
Eucerin c. aqua aa
We recommend using the UNGUATOR
®
Disp. Blade.
Emulsification can be more difficult using refrigerated foundations. Emulsification can
be sped up by heating the water to be added; however, often the heat that develops
inside the Jar during the mixing process may already be sufficient. Adapted emulsifiers
can, after consultation with the physician, promote stability and the formation of emulsion
or reverse phase separation. For instance, liquor carbon. detergens in vaseline
emulsifies better containing a small portion of lanolin or wool fat ointment (unguentum
alcoholum lanae).
2.2.2 Em
Emulsifying of semisolid substances to be melted.
Examples:
Emulsific. aquosa, Lanette, Cera
We recommend using the UNGUATOR ® Disp. Blade.
Emulsions should always be heated then when UNGUATOR
®
Jars of 300 ml to 500 ml
are employed with UNGUATOR
®
B/R or e/s.
Melting the semisolid substances using max. 85 °C/185 °F hot water can be achieved
by three methods:
