Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the particle size distribution affect performance in catalytic applications?
A1: A narrow, uniform particle size distribution increases catalyst surface area exposure, leading to consistent reaction rates and improved conversion efficiency. This uniformity is essential for maintaining predictable performance in catalytic systems.

Q2: What storage conditions are necessary to maintain powder integrity?
A2: The powder should be stored in a cool, dry environment with controlled humidity. Airtight, moisture-impermeable packaging prevents agglomeration and preserves the physical properties essential for optimal performance.

Q3: Can the spherical morphology influence its use in precision polishing applications?
A3: Yes, the spherical morphology ensures a uniform abrasion pattern, which minimises surface scratches. This results in improved finishing quality, especially in optical polishing and high-precision machining processes.
