New
experimental data from Freeman Technology demonstrate how dynamic, shear and
bulk powder testing can be applied to quantify the impact of humidity on powder
behaviour, supporting the need to develop effective strategies for moisture
control and process optimisation.
'Quantifying the impact of humidity on powder
properties' by Brian Armstrong (Powder Technologist) and Jamie Clayton
(Operations Manager), Freeman Technology, is now available for
download
Of the many
factors that influence powder behaviour, moisture, or humidity, is perhaps one of
the most instantly recognised and potentially one of the most problematic.
Adding even small amounts of water to a powder can transform its properties.
The challenge for formulators and process engineers is to understand the extent
to which a powder will take up moisture and, more importantly, how this will
affect the powder and its performance.
The new
white paper explores the impact of humidity through the application of dynamic,
shear and bulk property testing using Freeman Technology's FT4 Powder Rheometer.
Together these techniques reliably quantify how powder behaviour changes as a
result of moisture uptake, providing the comprehensive insight needed to
develop effective strategies for moisture control and process optimisation.
Experts from
the Freeman Technology team will be available to discuss the humidity work or
any other aspect of powder testing and its role in process optimisation at
ACHEMA 2012, Booth #4.2 F62, 18-22 June, in Frankfurt.
