American Elements is the world leader in nanopowder, nano particle, submicron, - 325 mesh, shot and high surface area metal and powder with particle distribution and particle size controlled and certified. We produce larger 40 mesh, Ц– 100 mesh, -200 mesh range sizes and < 0.5 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm and other mm size shot, granules, lump, flake and pieces, too. Our technical teams are experts in not just the chemical properties of advanced materials, but also their physical properties.

American Elements is capable of producing most compounds in the submicron and nanopowder rangeand metallic powders in sizes as low as 325 mesh. Surface areas as high as 140 m2/g have been achieved. Certain catalytic metallic powders, such as platinum, can be produced in the submicron range. If you are working with a material that is not in our catalog, but you require it in the submicron range, we can probably produce it.

American Elements can Ц“grow larger then typical particle sizes for materials to, for example, create particle distributions in the 20 to 70 micron range for materials that are naturally produced in the 2 to 8 micron range. This allows for their use in plasma spray guns and in other deposition technologies that can be blocked by particles that are either too small or too large for the delivery system.

American Elements can also achieve very high surface area ranges up to 130 square meters per gram for catalytic, electronic and pharmaceutical requirements and produce both wide and narrow particle distributions.

American Elements physical morphology capabilities include attrition, ball and jet milling, particle growth through calcination and co-precipitation and screening classification. Analysis and certification include particle distribution by laser diffraction, BET surface area analysis, phase analysis by X-ray diffraction and SEM.

Long description

Epoxy resin is so called thermoset plastic. That means that once the polymerisation has been achieved the plastic structure and molecules form a irrevocable 3D network. This polymerisation gives the plastic (epoxy) an excellent adhesive properties simultaneously with low viscosity prior to the reaction. That is the reason why epoxy is used to bond other more durable components and adhere reinforcement structures into wanted shape.
