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
