Suspensions, slurries, and pastes
Providing capability to optimize the performance and cost of suspensions, slurries, and pastes
Materials are processed and transported in slurry or suspension form in a multitude of industries from mining to coatings. Pastes confer a convenience and ease of use for products as diverse as toothpastes and adhesives.
Malvern Instruments provides a wide variety of tools and applications expertise for these far-reaching and close to universal areas. Rheological and flow properties are governed by the particle size, particle shape, and charge of the constituents and in each of these fields Malvern Instruments provides a technological solution, product and direct expertise that allows such products to be analyzed, characterized and controlled in a cost-effective manner.
Malvern solutions for Suspensions, slurries, and pastes
The influence of electrostatic stabilisation within apolar suspension formulations.
This study indicates that electrostatic repulsion may influence suspension physical stability in solvents with a dielectric constant as low as 9.0. This mechanism...
Assessing suspension stability in personal wash products using creep testing
Many personal wash products may require the inclusion of particulate abrasives, or insoluble solids/liquids to give opacity, visual cues, moisturizing benefits...
