Nanoparticles technology > The Need

The industry is in constant search for solutions to enhance the performance and properties of materials. Nano-sizing is considered a preferred approach towards this goal.

Although nano-particles offer many advantages, their manufacturing process poses significant challenges.

An ideal production process needs to address the following factors:

• Narrow particles size distribution (PSD)

• Purity of the active material - Minimal contamination produced during the manufacturing process and minimal use of additives.

• Control of the achieved particle morphology, i.e. amorphous or crystalline.

• Cost effective process (reliable, repeatable) and preferably continuous and quick, with low energy consumption.

• Collection of the produced particles in a non-agglomerated manner or by designed agglomerization when required.

• Ability to process a wide range of materials, including soft organic materials.

• A scalable process, suitable for high capacity industrial throughput.

• A process that does affect the activity of the active ingredients (For example, our process does not involve exposure of the materials to high temperature, and is therefore applicable for heat-sensitive compounds).

Our technology addresses these needs by offering a platform for the production of nano- to- sub-micron materials in a stable industrial process.
