Solids Solutions: your partner in material characterisation

In today’s industry, a thorough understanding of the physical properties of solids is crucial for product development and process optimisation. Solids Solutions, based in Wateringen, the Netherlands, is a contract research organisation (CRO) specialising in the physical characterisation of solid materials, particularly powders and granules. With more than 40 years of experience, the company offers a wide range of services to support companies in analysing and optimising their materials. 

Expertise and services

Solids Solutions has in-depth expertise in porosity, specific surface area, particle size and shape, chemical composition and behaviour of (bulk) powders. This knowledge enables them to offer various services, including:

  • Material characterisation: in-depth analysis of the physical and chemical properties of materials to understand and improve their performance.
  • Development of new techniques and methodologies: Innovative approaches to materials research and development.
  • Consultancy in powder technology: Advice and support on powder-related issues and technologies.
  • Courses and seminars: Educational programmes to share knowledge on powder and particle characterisation.

Nanoparticle analysis

With the growing application of nanotechnology in various industries, nanoparticle analysis has become increasingly important. Solids Solutions has specialised in nanoparticle testing, especially in the context of European regulations such as REACH, ECHA, EFSA and CLP. The company has advanced analytical techniques, including BET surface determination, electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and differential centrifugal sedimentation, to accurately determine the presence and properties of nanoparticles. 

Granulation: Enhancement of powder properties

Granulation is a process in which loose powder particles bond together to form larger particles, or granules. This process improves the flow and handling properties of powders, reduces dust formation and improves the uniformity and appearance of the product. There are several methods for particle enlargement, such as densification, granulation, encapsulation, pelletisation and agglomeration. Solids Solutions offers expertise in these processes to optimise the performance of powders in industrial applications. 

Reliable partner

For companies looking for in-depth insight into the physical properties of their materials and support in optimising powder and particle processes, Solids Solutions is a reliable partner. With decades of experience and a wide range of services, the company helps customers improve their material performance and comply with increasingly stringent nanoparticle regulations.
