Homogenization, also known as particle size reduction or micronization, is used across many industries – including pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and cosmetic -- to create stable emulsions and dispersions. While there are a number of machines that can perform the task of homogenization, it is important to choose the right homogenizer to ensure the best result with the highest level of quality. Continue reading to learn more about some important things you should look for when choosing a homogenizer for chemical applications.
Dispersion Creation
Dispersions, also known as suspensions, consist of solid particles distributed throughout a continuous medium. Examples of dispersions include polymers, petroleum additives, paints, and acrylics. It is important to create high quality dispersions in the production of these items to ensure maximum particle packing, increased conductivity, and improved overall surface quality. High quality dispersions results in a higher quality end product, which almost always translates to a better bottom line.
Particle Size Reduction Capabilities
When choosing a homogenizer, it is important to choose a high pressure homogenizer that can efficiently and readily decrease particle sizes. This process, also known as micronization, results in smaller particle sizes, which help facilitate easier dissolution, increased product stability, and higher overall quality. This results in increased customer satisfaction as well as reduced costs of production.
