Troubleshooting Paste Maker (Ceteareth-25) Dissolution and Clumping
คำถาม
I'm having trouble with Paste Maker not dissolving completely in water.
Method Used:
- Warm 60g of water for about 3 minutes.
- Add 20g of Paste Maker into the water.
- Stir for 5 minutes.
Observed Problem:
- Found clumps of Paste Maker that didn't dissolve in the water.
- Increasing time and temperature did not help it dissolve 100%.
I would like to know if my method is incorrect or if the formula is incorrect, and how I can fix this problem.
Thank you.

Troubleshooting Paste Maker (Ceteareth-25) Dissolution
It sounds like you're having trouble fully dissolving Ceteareth-25 (Paste Maker) in water, resulting in undissolved clumps.
Ceteareth-25 is indeed soluble in water, but like many powder ingredients, it can sometimes form clumps when added to liquid, especially at higher concentrations like the 25% you are using. The outer layer of the powder dissolves and becomes sticky, preventing the water from reaching the inner powder.
Here's a suggested method to improve dissolution:
- Heat the Water: Heat your 60g of water to a higher temperature, ideally around 70-80°C (158-176°F). Higher temperatures generally help with dissolving solids.
- Add Gradually with Stirring: Slowly add the 20g of Paste Maker to the heated water while stirring continuously and vigorously. Adding it a little at a time while stirring helps to disperse the powder and prevent clumps from forming.
- Continue Stirring: Keep stirring the mixture until all the powder is completely dissolved and you have a clear, uniform solution.
This method of adding the powder gradually to hot water with continuous stirring should help you achieve complete dissolution of the Ceteareth-25.
