APPENDIX
1. A method for preparing a pourable, concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
from a starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying
surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition, which method
consists essentially of removing some portion of hydrophobic
liquid from said starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying
surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition in a first
centrifuge, thereby producing a pourable concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
and a first centrifuge raffinate, wherein said polymer is a
water soluble polymer prepared from one or more ethylenically
unsaturated monomers and wherein said pourable concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
contains less than about 5%, by weight, water and greater than
about 60%, by weight, polymer solids.
12. A pourable concentrated polymer/emulsifying
surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition prepared by a method
consisting essentially of removing some portion of hydrophobic
liquid from a starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying
surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition in a first
centrifuge, thereby producing said pourable concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
and a first centrifuge raffinate, where said polymer is a
water soluble polymer prepared from one or more ethylenically
unsaturated monomers and wherein said pourable concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
contains less than about 5%, by weight, water and greater than
about 60%, by weight, polymer solids.
17. A method for preparing a pourable, concentrated
polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition
from a starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying
