FINE
GRINDING POLYMERS IN COSMETIC & PERSONAL CARE APPLICATIONS
An large chemical manufacturer
approached Quadro to help them fine grind a polymer (tocolpherol
polypeptide). Polymers are often used in personal
care products for rheology control, emulsion creation, pigment
suspension, antioxidants and to create other product characteristics.
Sizing is key as the dissolution and suspension rates are
affected if the material does not have a consistent PSD.
The Fine Grind F10
achieved a d 90 of 106 micron and a d 99 of 149 micron after
a single-pass. A second trial employed nitrogen with a single-pass
through the F10 where a D 90 of 64 micron and a d 99 of 125
micron were achieved. Both trials exceeded the customer's
desired capacity rate by 80%.
The Quadro ® Fine Grind F10 is a complete stand-alone process
plant that affords benefits to the processor including savings
through reduced downtime, minimal space requirements, rapid
product changeover and enhanced process efficiency . Other advantages
include quick disassembly for maintenance, tool change and cleaning,
low power consumption as compared to traditional mills, and
low noise . The Model F10 promotes
producing higher yields on specification and has a wide tooling
selection
