Filmix, the optimum mixer for difficult mixing conditions

This is part 10 in a series introducing T.K. Filmix. In the 5 years since T.K.Filmix went on the market, we have had so many requests from customers who are interested in seeing the effectiveness of the revolutionary mixer that we have had to keep them waiting for up to 2 months before we can schedule a test. We appreciate the interest very much. Through a long process trial and error, success and failure, we have changed mixtures to reach optimum results and have obtained some very interesting data. Like never before in the industry, T.K. Filmix is not only changing mixing technology but the ingredients of mixtures.

Successful results with modified activation agent
Processing material : Microcapsule

With current reactive agent, we were aiming for a sharp distribution but when mixed with current reactive agents, the Filmix caused foaming and a broader distribution shown by the blue line. We tried a reactive agent that does not foam and came up with a sharper distribution in the 5-10 range for a successful result shown by the pink line.

Modifications in composition to handle heat and achieve stable particle distribution
Processing material:resin emulsifier

Emulsifications begin react quickly with high temperatures. With current composition, this reaction takes place before the proper particle distribution is achieved. The sharp peak cannot be achieved as shown by the blue dots. When composition was modified to improve reactivity under heat, we were able to achieve the desired distribution as shown by the green line. When activation agent was decreased, the same results followed with a similar sharp distribution shown by the green line.
