Additional Information:

• Use the mortar method of preparation.
• Base calculations on the preparation of 4% excess.

Total Volume Measurement: mL

Procedure:

1. Weigh g of calamine powder.
    
        
    
    
   
2. Weigh g of zinc oxide powder.
    
        
    
    
   
3. Measure mL olive oil (extra virgin) in a graduated conical.
    
        
    
    
   
4. Measure mL of lime water (0.3% calcium hydroxide solution) in a graduated conical.
    
        
    
    
   
5. Place both the calamine and zinc oxide into a large mortar. Using a pestle, combine powders until thoroughly mixed using the process of Click to Select Aliquoting Alligation Blocking Geometric Dilution Levigation Pulverization by intervention Spatulation Trituration
    
    
   
6. Add the Click to Select Lime Water Olive Oil in small portions to wet the solids. Continue adding and wetting the solids until the entire volume has been added and a thick slurry has been formed.
    
    
   
7. Next, add the Click to Select Lime Water Olive Oil in portions, always mixing with extremely vigorous trituration.
    
    
   
8. Due to the vigorous trituration, a Click to Select Acacia Polymer Emulsion Nascent Soap Emulsion Non-Ionic Surfactant Emulsion will form itself, due to the production of the emulsifier calcium oleate.
    
    
   
9. To allow room for shaking, pour the volume to dispense into a Click to Select 120 mL 240 mL 360 mL size dispensing bottle. Appropriately discard excess.
    
    
   
10. Cap the bottle. Shake vigorously to ensure a final homogenous mixture.
     
     
    
11. Label & Dispense.
