Electrostatic Effects
Electrostatic effects occur when materials accumulate electrical charges during handling or processing, influencing particle interactions and material behavior. These effects can impact industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food, leading to challenges such as clumping, adhesion, or even ignition risks in powder handling.
On this page, explore the principles of electrostatic effects, their impact on material performance, and strategies to manage and mitigate these forces for safer and more efficient operations.

Advanced Powder Characterization Techniques
In this article, we will take a glance at the Advanced Powder Characterization techniques, that are currently available. Characterizing powders is a deceptively complex challenge. At first glance, it might seem that measuring particle size, bulk density, or flowability should tell us all we need to know. But anyone working with powders knows better. [...]
Electrostatic Charge in Powder Behavior
Electrostatic charge in powder behavior In industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to food processing, the behavior of powders often holds the key to efficiency and product quality. However, a seemingly invisible force—electrostatic charge—can significantly impact how powders perform during handling, transport, and storage. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for optimizing processes and avoiding costly [...]
Characterizing Bulk Density in Powders: Why It Matters
Bulk density plays a critical role in powder processing and handling, significantly influencing packaging, transport, and product performance. Many overlook this parameter in favor of metrics like particle size distribution or flowability. However, bulk density provides unique insights into the structural and behavioral properties of a powder, offering valuable information for optimizing processes. To [...]
