*1: see particle size analysis with our Laser-Partikel-Sizer ANALYSETTE 22 NanoTec on separate pages.
*2: To avoid overpressure, we ground the sample in steps of 1 minutes, followed by a programmed pausing time of 10 minutes. After several cycles, the outside temperature of the bowl should be checked (remain below 80°C); grinding time or programmed pausing time might be readjusted afterwards.
The grinding effect between 15min and 30min is very low, so that a longer grinding time in „agate“ we do not recommend.
We recommend to use the grinding set made of zirconiumoxide to reach a better endfineness.
Also we noticed, that your material react with water and there is a producing of gas.
