Phase B

  1. In a separate vessel, mix Citric Acid, Sodium Gluconate, and Ethoxylated Alcohol until fully dissolved.
  2. Add Sodium Hydroxide gradually to adjust the mixture to a pH of 7.

Phase C

  1. Slowly combine Phase B into Phase A while mixing continuously to form an emulsion.
  2. Add Defoamer, Biocide, Fragrance, and Colorant one by one into the emulsion with continuous mixing.
  3. Let the emulsion cool down to room temperature while stirring gently.
