Spray Drying of Epoxy latex
Spray Drying of Epoxy latex with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Epoxy latex is a widely used material in various applications, such as adhesives, coatings, and composites. Spray drying is a method that can be used to produce dry powders of epoxy latex, which can improve the handling and storage of the material.
During the spray drying process, a liquid epoxy latex is atomized into fine droplets and dried in a hot air stream to produce a dry powder. The resulting powder has good flowability, solubility, and reactivity, making it ideal for use in various applications.
Areas of spray drying of epoxy latex include the selection of appropriate raw materials, formulation development, process optimization, and product characterization. The optimal processing conditions such as temperature, flow rate, and inlet/outlet conditions are determined to optimize the particle size, powder yield, and other physicochemical properties of the resulting powder.
Spray-dried epoxy latex powders are commonly used in various applications, such as coatings, adhesives, and composites. The use of spray drying technology ensures consistent quality and high production efficiency, making it a preferred method for producing epoxy latex powders.
Please see the application note No. 504 for starting parameters, formulations and some results.
