Particle Characterization of Specialty Chemicals
on demand webinar
In specialty and fine chemicals manufacturing, particle characterization is critical to achieving the highest-value product and performance. Before a formulation can be optimized, it is important to understand the relationship between its components. Particle properties such as particle size and surface charge are often optimized during the formulation of new products to enhance efficacy and stability, often improving its shelf life. Therefore, particle characterization is a critical step to growing end-product value.
Process control may require continuous particle size monitoring. Final quality control may include testing to defined particle size and zeta potential specifications.
In this webinar, Mark Bumiller, technology manager, investigates the importance of particle analysis in specialty and fine chemicals manufacturing.
Key topics include:
- Why particle characterization is critical to achieving the highest-value product formulations and performance
- Approaches to particle size analysis and the special instrumentation used in the process
- How zeta potential predicts dispersion stability
- Industrial examples from:
- Inks
- Emulsions
- Pigments
