Ultrazine NA for efficient dispersion of zinc oxide
Laboratory work with Zinc oxide for a soluble fertilizer concentrate comparing with commercial reference
A commercial reference sample was analysed for dry matter and average particle size. A new formulation with Ultrazine NA at the same dry matter content of 57% zinc oxide was prepared. The shear viscosity of both formulations was measured to assess flow properties.
Key takeaways:
- Better flow properties of the suspension with Ultrazine NA
- No sediment observed after 2 weeks
- Increased solids content possible, maintaining same flow properties of actual commercial product
Viscosity measurements of zinc oxide suspension concentrate formulations.
