Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

For the preparation of Liquigel with salicylic acid from the NF VI, Klucel HF is required, which is no longer available.

Can instead now use Klucel GF and if so, in what quantity?
the concentration to Klucel HF is 1%.
Klucel HF = 25000 mPa. s
Klucel GF = 300 mPa. s

Answer

On the basis of recovered graphs, which give the link between concentration and viscosity for the different types of Klucel, I have been able to infer that a 1% solution of Klucel HF gives a viscosity of 1,000 mPa. S; If you want to achieve the same viscosity with Klucel GF then you need a 3% solution for this.
