| MATERIAL: |
Dispersion of silica in water. |
|
PROBLEM: |
Batch mixing of 100-200 gallon batches of fumed silica resulting in incomplete dispersions of this base material prior to conversion into coatings. |
|
RESULT: |
Excellent dispersion of the silica without lumps or specks in a uniformed dispersion. |
|
AB MIXER: |
Model C-1-1 Reversible Homogenizer mixer, 5 HP, 3600 RPM. |
| BENEFITS: |
Reduction of mixing time from 72 minutes to less than 10 minutes without non-uniform product. |
