You have a material that could not be reduced in size so far.
Soft, fibrous, tough, temperature-sensitive, sticky – properties that have so far stood in the way of a defined target fraction.
That is exactly where our projects begin.
Micro & Nano Size Reduction
We reduce particles down to the micrometre range and process nanomaterials, without liquid nitrogen. Seven polymers and nine further material classes are documented with measurement data.
Particle Coating
We mechanically embed fine particles into the surface of larger particles and granulates – without heat input, without binders, continuously instead of in batches.
Customized Mills
Once the process works, we build the mill at your site – including process know-how under a know-how agreement.
The same sample at five magnifications — not a zoom into a single particle.

What size reduction actually means
What is a single number on a data sheet is here a field of particles: irregularly shaped, of many sizes side by side, as fragmentation actually produces them. The scale bar is recalculated at every step.
How the process worksReference materials · Secondary microplastics
Secondary microplastics – from your polymer, not from a catalogue.
Order microplastic reference material from a catalogue and you get the supplier's polymer – their batch, their additive package, their state of ageing. For method validation and interlaboratory studies that is often the wrong material.
We reduce your own polymer into secondary microplastics – at gram scale, with a measurement report.
What we have already reduced in size
Indicative volume-weighted d50 values from completed projects. For every batch we issue a measurement report with d10, d50, d90 and the distribution type stated.

Particle coating
This is what a coated particle looks like
Aluminium particle mechanically coated with carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes sit on the surface. Scale bar: 10 µm.
