High-Speed Dispersion of Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is chemically neutral and has a special whiteness and whiteness. These structures have led to their widespread use in many industries.
The process
Titanium dioxide is usually given as a powder mark but can also be dispersed in advance in oil or water systems. The variety of applications leads to many different processing methods, however, the process requirements are the same:
TiO2 is usually given in powder/pre micronized form and reducing particle size (digestion) does not work in most cases.
In order to maximize transparency and shine, TiO2 must be fully dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the product.
Dust / soluble emissions should be reduced.

The problem
The following problems can be encountered when using conventional mixers with agitators:
In addition to water, solvent, varnish or other media particles often reassemble.
Ordinary combinations cannot break these down effectively.
Long mixing cycles are required to achieve uniform dispersion.
Extended processing time contributes to the production of solvents.
The powder should be added under controlled conditions that can be time-consuming and lead to an increase in dust emissions.
Solution
The high speed, high shear mixers performance of the Wahal Engineer mixer provides a solution to these problems.
The subject of rotor/stator activity rapidly disperses Ti02 particles into the surrounding liquid, resulting in the same product and shorter processing times.
This can be achieved by using a In-tank Batch Homogenizer immersed in the process vessel, or by adding a Wahal Engineer In-Line mixer to the existing system in the rotation system as shown:
