Dispersing Powders
To achieve optimal particle size reduction with a high shear mixer, where only a particular degree of particle size reduction is required, disperse powders into the smallest possible amount of liquid. This helps the mixer disperse and mill the powder, rather than mixing the entire batch at once. The concentration of powder increases the particle size reduction. Once the desired particle size is achieved, the residual liquid can be quickly and easily blended into the mix with the high shear mixer.

Famous quotes containing the word powders:
“Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
