Pigment Grinding and Dispersion Potters Industries supplies technical quality beads for grinding and dispersion applications. Using precise process controls, Potters manufactures glass spheres to the exacting standards required for a wide range of applications. The process of selecting media begins with an understanding of the principal milling requirement. Dispersion and deagglomeration require the separation of agglomerates into discrete particles. Grinding or milling results in primary reduction of the particle size. Potters' glass spheres are an ideal choice for both requirements. Features Benefits Spherical shape Spherical media maximize the number of particle-to-particle contacts. Potters' uniform spherical particles provide uniform and predictable milling patterns. The results are highly efficient dispersion and grinding. Chemically inert Because Potters' glass is virtually free of impurities, it does not react with materials being processed. Low abrasive wear Potters' smooth glass spheres deliver maximum grinding impact, but they are nonabrasive and do not cause excessive mill wear. Low liquid absorption The nonporous surface of Potters' glass spheres does not absorb the liquid components of formulations. Large size selection Potters’ wide selection enables customers to choose the optimal media for their specific milling technologies. Larger glass spheres accelerate particle size reduction because of their greater mass. Smaller spheres stimulate dispersion because there are more of them in any unit of volume. High-crush resistance Potters' solid glass spheres are durable for mixing and grinding applications. Home | Site Map | Legal Notice | Contact Us | Adobe® Acrobat® Reader
