The best pulverization of emulsions that can be achieved using conventional mixing blades is in the micrometer realm. Now, with our new ‘thin‐film spin system’ high‐speed mixer, it is possible to attain pulverization in the nanometer realm. The particle size distribution can now be controlled to achieve an almost single distribution state. Particles can be pulverized without being severed, preventing secondary agglomeration after processing. This new mixing system also solves many of the problems common to conventional pulverization processes.
