How often does Silcoseal Select need to be mixed?

I know that Silcoseal Select is a water-based bondbreaker and needs to be mixed before use. How often does it require mixing, and what is the best method for mixing?

Silcoseal Select is composed of a water-based mixture of two liquids that are mechanically dispersed into each other to form a milky white emulsion. Unlike a solution, which will always stay mixed, all emulsions will eventually separate into two distinct layers. However, not all emulsions are the same. Some emulsions have better emulsion stability (requiring less mixing) than others.

Silcoseal Select is a third-generation, water-based bondbreaker with substantially improved emulsion stability. For liability reasons, Nox-Crete recommends that all Silcoseal bondbreakers be mixed each time before product is withdrawn from the container. The highly effective stability of our emulsions works as safeguard to help minimize problems resulting from the lack of mixing prior to product withdrawals later in the day.

To simplify the mixing process, use the Nox-Crete Drum Agitator. Several turns of the agitator results in sufficient mixing of a 55-gallon drum of Silcoseal Select. One free Drum Agitator is furnished with every four drums of Silcoseal Select purchased.
