Innovation in powder technology: Discover the world of Solids Solutions

In the dynamic world of powder technology and materials science, Solids Solutions plays a leading role. This Dutch company, with a wealth of experience and a global network of partners, has specialised in the characterisation of powders and solids. Whether in the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry or other sectors where powders play a crucial role, Solids Solutions offers tailor-made solutions that contribute to the optimisation of production processes and product quality.

Expertise in powder characterisation

One of Solids Solutions’ core activities is powder characterisation, an essential process for accurately understanding the properties of powders and granules. Powder characterisation includes a wide range of techniques, such as particle size analysis, flow properties, and density measurements. These techniques are crucial for predicting how a powder will behave under different conditions, such as during transportation, storage, or processing.

At Solids Solutions, every powder characterisation is performed with the highest precision. This is important because the properties of powders often determine the quality of the final product. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry the right particle size can improve the bioavailability of a drug, while in the food industry the flow properties of powder are important for the consistency of the product. Using advanced technologies and in-depth expertise, Solids Solutions ensures that companies always have the right information to optimise their processes.

The importance of BET surface

Another specialised service offered by Solids Solutions is BET (Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller) surface area determination. The BET surface area is a measure of the total specific surface area of a material, and is of great importance in the characterisation of powders, especially when used in catalysts, adsorbents or pharmaceuticals.

The BET method measures the amount of gas adsorbed by a powder to calculate the total surface area of the pores and solid. This is crucial for processes such as adsorption, where greater surface area often leads to higher efficiency. At Solids Solutions, BET analysis is carried out with extreme care, so companies receive reliable and accurate data. This data helps develop products with better performance and lower costs, ultimately leading to higher competitiveness in the market.
