How to Select a Dispermat
A disperser is required when solid particles are dispersed in a liquid creating a colloidal suspension. If the solid is easily dissolved like sugar in water, a simple air or electric mixer is ok.
Why is Proper Dispersion Important for Paint Manufacturing?
If solids, especially pigments, are not broken down into smaller particle sizes and spread evenly throughout the liquid base during the paint manufacturing process, the result is a poor paint quality.
Bead Mill and Basket Mill – What’s their purpose and how do they differ?
There are some applications where extremely fine particles are required or the solid content is especially difficult to break down and disperse. These requirements need something besides a dissolver disc and that’s where a bead or basket mill is used.
What is the difference between an emulsion and dispersion?
While emulsions and dispersions have similar characteristics, it is important to understand their differences. An emulsion is a uniform mixture of two immiscible liquids (i.e. oil and water). Oil in water are characterized by things like moisturizers.
