I tried making an Alcohol gel using Pro Polymer mixed with Nano Silver. I used the following ingredients: 1. Ethyl Alcohol 70 g. 2. water 27.5 g. 3. Nano Silver 2 g. 4. Pro Polymer 0.5 g. I mixed water + Pro Polymer until it became a gel, then added alcohol, resulting in a very nice gel texture. However, when I added Nano Silver, the gel turned into a cloudy white liquid with a sticky white precipitate. How can I fix this issue? Normally, I can mix Nano Silver with gel (Carbopol 940 + TEA) without precipitation.
