The inherent chemical and physical properties of the raw materials, the interaction between the particle surface and the continuous phase and the dispersing process itself play a role in particle dispersibility. All three factors must be considered. Thanks to STEP technology and the multi-sample concept, the LUM analyzers enable the efficient determination of particle size distributions and particle surface properties according to the Hansen parameter concept. Looking for single particles and for particle concentration, SPLS-technology can be applied additionally. After understanding the dispersibility of particles, the separation stability of the formulated suspensions and emulsions plays an important role. Again STEP-technology based instruments are used.
