From Rocks to Nanos
Small Bits
One nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter, and one-billionth of a meter. A single human hair is around 80,000 nanometers in width. At CDC we use our latest nanotechnology to create ultra-particle density, resulting in maximum surface area to give extreme useage of available raw materials. Nanoparticles are smaller than the wavelength of visible light (400 to 700 nm), therefore transparent to the eye, they can be introduced to add physical property performance, and not affect the clarity of a coating.
Grinding & Mixing Solutions
World Leaders in Fine Particle Technology
At CDC Microtron we use a Light Scattering Analysis Technique to establish dispersion particle sizes. The size and shape of a particle affect the way light interacts with it. The particle sizing technique measures specific parameters affected by particle size rather than measuring particle size directly. Examples of these altered parameters include the particle's settling velocity, the volume of a medium that the particle displaces, and the pattern produced by light that has been scattered from a particle.
This analysis technique enables us to monitor dispersion performance with precision.
