JBP exhibits a measurable reduction in airborne respirable particles ARP when treated with 0.25 carbowax 400 A
further reduction in ARP is achieved by formulating the JBP with a demicronized talc fines removed and then treating with 0.25 carbowax
In order to determine if the respirable particle reduction effect of carbowax 400 is permanent the following samples have been in 70 aging and tested over the past seven 7
months
Sample #
1.
66 Talc Base - Lot 65374
Talc used to formulate samples 2 & 3 below
2
A JBP Form 499 Control - Batch 4681-31
A are duplicate samples
3 A JBP Form 3553-112-02 0.25 carbowax 400 Batch 4681-31B A are duplicate samples
4 JBP Formulated with demicronized talc 4365-48 and 0.25 carbowax 400
Results
The respirable particle reduction effect of the Carbowax 400 is still effective and essentially unchanged after seven 7 months aging at 70
Procedure
250 grams of each sample and initially tested for as follows
was placed in 9 oz airborne respirable
JBP containers dust levels
729-10

Talc - 2006.01
- Aging Study
Mr. G. Lee
The container was placed in a mechanical device and shaken
vertically at a fixed rate to deliver about 1 gram of powder
The shaker is located within a closed chamber so that any
airborne dust is contained within the chamber and is rapidly
dispersed and uniformized by means of a
fan The airborne dust is sampled with
at a 1.7 min flow rate The cyclone
small circulating a 10mm nylon cyclone
separates out the
respirable sized particles and delivers them to a TS1 3210A
quartz crystal mass monitor for weighing
of respirable particles as mg in the
and printed out every 10 sec
The concentration chamber is monitored
Under these conditions the peak concentration of ARP in the
chamber is reached in the first 10 sec after shaking This
peak reading was used as the criteria to measure the effect
of the and at
carbowax 400 on JBP The samples one month intervals for three 3
were run initially
months and then
at the end of seven 7 months
The average result of three 3 trials was recorded for each test A test consisted of measuring peak concentration in
Mthe grams of powder delivered and the number of shakes
An additional measurement was made at the end of seven 7 months aging only e.g. the average concentration of ARP in the chamber in the first two 2 minutes after shaking the can of powder
Discussion of Data attached
1 The addition of perfume to talc results in a reduction of ARP sample 1 vs. sample 2 &
2. The addition of 0.25 Carbowax 400 results in a marked reduction of ARP when compared to the regular JBP Sample 2 & vs. sample 4
3 A further reduction in ARP results when the JBP is made using a demicronized fines removed talc Sample 3 & vs.
sample 4

It requires more shaking to deliver the same amount of
Carbowax 400 treated product from the container
Comments
This aging study will be continued to conclusion at one
