Colloidal Mixing Technology

for Construction and Industry applications

Colloidal mixing Technology for the Preparation of Slurries.
Colloid (Greek kolla = glue + -oid similar to, from Greek eides shape) refers to a state of matter characterized by microscopically small particles suspended in a mayimum stat of dispersion (Entropy) in a continuous medium. The term colloid-dispersed phase is used when the particles have dimensions of 0,1 - 0,001 mm. In general, such particles are not available for use as the solid component of a mixed product in such finely sized state; rather, they come in the form of clusters and lumps. Consequently, the task of colloidal mxing technology is to separate these particles from one another and to uniformly distribute them in the dispersion medium during the mixing process.

Advantages of Colloidal Mixing Technology

Depending on the demands that are made on the slurry, its preparation requires an optimal chemical or biological reaction, which is made possible by large active surface areas of the particles involved. The smaller the size to which the solid particles are broken down, the larger is their active surface in ralation to their unit volume. This principle is used in industry for such applications as the hydration of cement slurries, the breaking down of bentonites or the bacterial breakdown of sewage sludge by microorganisms.
In the construction industry, for instance for anchor injection in special foundation construction, breaking down the solid components as much as possible increases the depth of penetration into the soil or rock. Here too, breaking down microcements into colloidal particles is of decisive importance.

Colloidal mixing technology provides you with advantages in every field of application in which an optimally dispersed mixing product is essential.
