To provide an accurate quote for your powder filling project, we need to understand your product. This guide outlines the key powder characteristics we use to provide an accurate quote.

Why Do We Require So Much Information to Quote Your Powder Filling Job?

In order to accurately quote your powder filling job we need to know more about your powders. Powders, like snowflakes have unique & different characteristics.  The following pictorial covers the 7 common properties of powder.  Please use the pictorial as a guide as you answer the questions found below.

Particle Size of Powders

Are particles consistent in size or irregular? How dusty is it when you pour it out?

Density of Powders

Is it very thick and heavy or light and fluffy?

Flow of Powders

Is it free-flowing or non-free flowing? There’s a simple way to know: fill a cup and stick your finger in it and examine it when you remove your finger. If it’s free flowing, the powder will quickly fill the hole. If it’s non-free flowing then your finger hole will remain.

Hygroscopicity of Powders

On a warm summer day, will it absorb moisture from the air and start to clump? If the cap was left off all night, would it still feel dry and look the same in the morning? How dry do we need to keep it? How moisture sensitive is it?

Granularity of Powders

Are particles consistent in size or irregular? How dusty is it when you pour it out?

Dispersibility of Powders

When you add it to a liquid does it easily spread on its own or does it need stirring?

Solubility of Powders

When you pour it into a liquid with other products, does it dissolve and stay in solution? Or if you came back the next morning, would you find it separated and it all settled to the bottom? This is critical if we’re mixing.
