What is determined with this method?

• Particle size using static light scattering/laser diffractometry

Measuring range:

• Particle size: 0.05 – 500 µm
• Concentration: 0.01 – 0.001 % (by volume)
• Scattering angle range: 0.03 ° to 135 °
• Not suitable for unstable dispersions

What is evaluated with this method?

• Particle size distribution of a dispersion
• Tendency to agglomerate/aggregate

Examples of application of the method by material:

• Characterisation of pigments and organic polymers
• Evaluation of the stability of dispersions

What insights do customers gain about your products/samples with this method?
