Techniques to Help Light Cream Maker™ Dissolve Faster

It sounds like you are having trouble getting Light Cream Maker™ to fully dissolve in water at 0.4%. Even after 10 minutes of stirring, some pieces remain. Here are a few techniques that might help improve the dissolution and dispersion:

• Shake the product before use: Light Cream Maker™ is a milky liquid and can sometimes stratify. Shaking the bottle well before measuring and adding it to your water phase can help ensure the active components are evenly dispersed, leading to better dissolution.
• Add slowly while stirring: Try adding the Light Cream Maker™ gradually to the water while you are stirring continuously. This can help prevent the formation of clumps, which are harder to dissolve.
• Ensure adequate mixing/shearing: While you mentioned stirring for 10 minutes, the type of mixing is important. Ensure your stirring provides enough shear to break up any potential clumps and disperse the polymer throughout the water. However, be careful not to over-spin (above 2500 rpm) as this can damage the polymer structure according to the product information.

Light Cream Maker™ is designed to dissolve in water without needing heat, so your approach is correct in principle. Focusing on proper dispersion techniques during the mixing process should help achieve a smoother, fully dissolved solution.
