Dispersibility - Case Study: Raw Material Efficient Screening

Dispersibility, the ease of dispersing particles into liquids with a minimum size, is crucial for
formulas end-use properties. Indeed, this operation could impact the final suspension quality like paint opacity, drug delivery, the shelf-life... Dispersibility depends on formulation parameters: raw materials, formulation and the dispersing process. Methods for dispersibility characterization usually require strong sample modification (dilution, sampling, external stress), making studies long, tedious and not always reliable.
In this note, a method is presented to screen dispersibility of different raw materials and their affinity within the solvent using the Turbiscan® DNS online capabilities.
