Manufacturing method
1. Using a mixer, weigh all of the Phase A ingredients in a stainless-steel boiler. Continue stirring by heating the boiler to 70-80 degrees Celsius until everything melts uniformly.
2. The preparation and stirring of Phase B should be done in a separate beaker.
3. Phases B and A should be combined for an hour at 80°C to ensure homogeneity.
4.The solution should be cooled to room temperature after being combined with phase AB and phase C for five minutes while being stirred.
Note:
- Never apply direct heat to the mixture.
- Keep stirring continuously while incorporating each new ingredient.
- Refrain from using plastic containers with a low melting point.
- Always wear a protective mask and gloves during preparation.
- Allow ample time for melting; patience is essential for proper texture.
- Start by preparing a 500-gram test batch before scaling to a larger quantity.
