Many (industrial) products consist of small particles or powders. In order to develop a good product, knowledge of the properties of these particles is therefore required. At Solids Solutions we do extensive research into this, so that we can help companies in various industries with product development. If you get stuck in the process, we can find the cause and offer an appropriate solution. We are also happy to share our knowledge of powder and particle technology with you in the form of seminars, courses and events.
Powder segregation researchTo develop a certain product, several components are mixed with each other. This sounds simpler than it is, because not all components, or particles, mix equally well with each other. Different properties of the particles can cause segregation to take place. Among other things, the size and density of the particles influence this. Particle separation is also called powder segregation. This poses a problem when developing a product, because it negatively affects the functioning of the product. Solids Solutions carries out research into the properties of the various particles and looks for solutions to ensure that no segregation takes place.
BET analysisDo you need information about the surface area of a solid or porous substance? At Solids Solutions we can accurately calculate the BET surface by means of a BET analysis. We use nitrogen, but also other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide and crypton. This depends on the type of substance being analysed. The gas is adsorbed into the substance, so that the pore size, pore volume and porosity of the substance can be determined. On the basis of the information that has to be obtained, we use the right techniques and methods. Do you need specialised knowledge about particles and powder technology? Then please do not hesitate to contact us. |

Frequently asked questions
What is powder segregation and why is it a problem?▼
Powder segregation occurs when different particles in a mixture don't blend equally well due to differences in size, density, and other properties. This negatively affects product functionality, which is why proper analysis and solutions are essential during product development.
How does BET analysis help in product development?▼
BET analysis accurately measures surface area, pore size, pore volume, and porosity of solid or porous substances using various gases like nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and krypton. This specialized data is crucial for understanding material properties and optimizing product formulations.
What industries can benefit from particle and powder technology services?▼
Various industrial sectors benefit from these services, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemicals, and manufacturing. Any industry working with powders or small particles can leverage this expertise for better product development and quality control.
Do you offer training on powder and particle technology?▼
Yes, Solids Solutions shares knowledge through seminars, courses, and events focused on powder and particle technology. These educational offerings help companies understand particle properties and develop better products.
What happens if segregation occurs in my product mixture?▼
Segregation causes uneven particle distribution, which impairs product performance and consistency. Solids Solutions investigates the root causes through particle property analysis and develops targeted solutions to prevent segregation during manufacturing.
