Agglomeration Technology
Technology and Benefits
Agglomeration affords increased particle size and porosity to powders resulting in improved dispersion and dissolution with reduced compaction. Diverse fluid binding mixtures allow for function and co-processing solutions, while closely defined particles solve unique application requirements:- Particle Size Distribution
- Density
- Surface Chemistry
