ConCor – Applications
ConCor technology can be applied to a very wide range of materials ranging from very hard ceramic particles through to liquid/liquid emulsions and suspensions in a very wide range of fluid types and viscosities. Some examples are:
- De-agglomeration of nanoparticulate dispersions such as, ZnO, TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, CeO2.
- Dispersion and stabilisation of metal particulates such as silver, gold, copper and phosphors.
- De-agglomeration and size reduction of nano-pigments (both organic and inorganic).
- Complete exfoliation of nano-clays and disentanglement of high aspect ratio particulates (such as carbon nanotubes) without damage to the particulate matrix.
- Dispersion of nanoparticles into a wide range of continuous phases such as aqueous and non-aqueous solvents over a wide range of viscosities (1 – 150 cps).The equipment is capable of safely processing flammable solvents.
- Dispersion and controlled growth of primary particles in the nano regime.
- Coating and reactive chemistry through the use of two feeds into the shear region.
Primary Dispersions Ltd is currently seeking collaborative development partners to optimise dispersions across a wide range of application areas. The range of potential applications is truly tremendous, covering, for example:
- Functional Coatings
- Inks and pigments
- Functional plastic packaging and films
- Bulk plastics & nanocomposites
- Textiles
- Decorative Ceramics
- Food and food processing
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical
- Cosmetic and personal care formulations
