A new educational guide, “An Introduction to Powders,” explains how and why powders behave the way they do, and how this impacts powder processing and characterization. It provides a foundation for those with little prior knowledge of powders and is a useful resource for anyone looking to expand their understanding of the factors relevant to product development and processing performance.
The booklet is authored by Tim Freeman, Managing Director of Freeman Technology, and focuses on how the three components of a powder – the particles, surrounding air and any moisture present – interact to define powder behavior. It also provides answers to the most frequently encountered powder processing issues throughout industry.
