- Household Products: Used in cleaning agents, laundry detergents, and disinfectants (surfactants, enzymes, bleaching agents)
- Petrochemicals: Derives from petroleum and used in the production of plastics, rubber, and other materials
- Pharmaceutical: APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), excipients, and reagents for development of medicines and drugs (antibiotics, painkillers, vaccines)
- Cosmetic: Various products such as shampoos, lotions, makeup, and fragrances (preservatives, emulsifiers, fragrances)
- Food & Beverage: Used in production as preservatives, food coloring, and flavor enhancers
- Energy: Used in various forms of energy production, including oil and gas exploration, nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power
- Water Treatment: Purifies and disinfects drinking water
Mixing/Processing Challenges
Chemicals are essential to many industries and can be found everywhere in our daily lives. Processing methods vary, but the use of precise dispersing and mixing equipment is now standard practice. Whether you choose Schold or another partner, selecting the proper equipment is crucial for overcoming these common challenges:
- Chemical Homogeneity: Achieving consistent and thorough mixing to ensure uniform dispersion of chemical components, preventing variations in product quality.
- Reaction Control: Managing chemical reactions during mixing processes to control reaction kinetics, avoid side reactions, and achieve the desired product characteristics.
- Viscosity Management: Handling variations in viscosity, particularly in high-viscosity formulations, to maintain proper flow characteristics and ease of handling during processing.
- Temperature Control: Addressing the impact of temperature on chemical reactions and formulations to ensure stability, prevent degradation, and achieve desired product properties.
- Consistent Rheological Properties: Maintaining consistent rheological properties to ensure proper application and performance characteristics in different environmental conditions.
- High-Pressure Processing: Addressing challenges related to high-pressure processing, common in certain chemical reactions, to ensure equipment integrity and safety.
- Complex Formulations: Managing the challenges associated with complex formulations, such as those with multiple components, additives, or reactive species.
- Process Automation: Incorporating efficient process automation solutions to enhance productivity, consistency, and reproducibility in large-scale chemical manufacturing.
- Scale-Up Challenges: Adapting laboratory-scale processes to larger industrial scales while maintaining precision, consistency, and efficiency in material dispersion and blending.
