Visvosity
Viscosity
For EOS® 598B42, we typically suggest that the concentrate be diluted 19:1 to 4:1 with water prior to injection (3 to 12% final oil concentration). This ensures the injected emulsion will be between 1.3 and 2.1 times as viscous as water.
Concentrated emulsions can be highly viscous. EOS Remediation's oil-in-water emulsions are much less viscous than NAPL oils and do not require any special handling equipment. Viscosity in the figure below is presented as the ratio of emulsion viscosity to water viscosity at 20 °C.
