New Bead Wet Mill Technology for the Processing of Micro Fine Graphite Dispersions

For the production of dispersions used in the coatings industry, small particle sizes of a specific shape are essential. The so-called “Bead Mills” are commonly used for the manufacture of such dispersions.Bead Mills are machines for the ultra fine grinding of solid particles in a liquid, mostly water, in the presence of small ceramic, glass- or metal beads.

New Technology for the Production of “Hydrophobic Emulsions”

For the past 40 years or so, so-called water-based release agents are in use for high pressure die-casting. Most of the products are based on colloidal aqueous wax dispersions, at times mixed with emulsified siloxanes. The manufacture of such products is fairly easy and follows standard types of procedures.
