Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Hydroxyl Emulsion

Definition

Hydroxyl Emulsion is an industrial emulsification device engineered to create stable emulsions containing hydroxyl-functional groups. It employs precision-controlled mechanical agitation, temperature regulation, and phase-injection systems to disperse hydroxylated compounds (such as polyols, glycols, or hydroxyl-terminated polymers) into continuous phases (typically water or organic solvents). The system ensures uniform droplet size distribution, chemical stability, and controlled reactivity of hydroxyl groups for applications in polymer synthesis, coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemical formulations.

The device is constructed with contact parts in stainless steel 316L, PTFE seals, and ceramic rotors, ensuring chemical resistance and durability. It operates within a shear rate range of 10,000–50,000 s⁻¹, a temperature range of 20–80 °C, and produces droplet sizes of 0.5–5 μm. The hydroxyl value, measured by titration per ISO 4629, ranges from 20–80 mg KOH/g. Mixing speed is adjustable from 1000–3000 rpm. The system maintains a pH range of 6–8, viscosity of 500–2000 mPa·s (Brookfield, 25°C, ISO 2555), and solid content of 40–60% by weight. Electrical power is 5.5–15 kW at 380 V, three-phase, 50 Hz (IEC 60038), with ingress protection IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). The skid-mounted unit weighs 500–1500 kg.

All listed parameters are reference ranges; model-specific values must be confirmed with the legal manufacturer or supplier. Standards cited are for verification and procurement reference only, not proof of certification or compliance.

Working Principle

The Hydroxyl Emulsion operates by introducing hydroxyl-containing compounds and a continuous phase into a high-shear mixing chamber. Rotor-stator assemblies or homogenizing valves generate intense mechanical energy to break the dispersed phase into micron-sized droplets. Simultaneously, emulsifiers and stabilizers are metered in to form interfacial films around droplets, preventing coalescence. Temperature control units maintain optimal viscosity and reaction kinetics, while in-line sensors monitor emulsion stability, droplet size, and hydroxyl group availability. The system may incorporate inline hydroxyl value analysis via FTIR or titration for quality assurance.
