The Nature of Powders

We think of powders as a mass of solid particles or granules. In fact these particles are usually surrounded by air (or other fluid) and it is the solids plus fluid combination that significantly affects the bulk properties of the powder. It is perhaps the most complicating characteristic because the amount of fluid can be so variable.

Powders are... (read more)

Airbrasive® micro blast powders are double screened to ensure uniform particle size. We vacuum pack and treat our powders with desiccant to minimize moisture contamination that may cause clumping. (read more)

TPL offers a range of titanate powders with controlled size and chemistry. The nano-size powders are produced via an aqueous, low temperature process that allows for binary and tertiary oxide compositions with controlled stoichiometries. (read more)

Powder testing and powder flow characterisation are now possible using the patented FT4 Powder Rheometer, a revolutionary instrument for providing fast and consistent measurements of powder flow properties. The FT4 aids formulation of new materials, helps optimise handling and processing and can provide quality control standards that lead to real productivity and quality gains. (read more)

Bunting's Powder FF Drawer Magnets are used in plastics processing and mount directly on the infeed of processing machines. Bunting grinds the inside of the housings smooth to prevent powdered resins and colorants from clinging to the interior surfaces. (read more)

The Waterloo Biofilter® is similar to standard trickle filter technology but the filter medium is absorbent for retention time without multiple passes. Because of its specific physical properties, the system is overall aerobic but concomitant to anaerobic activity results in no aerobic sludge product... (read more)
