Using the SpeedMixer, I have been able to quickly and easily produce 400 – 500 g batches uniform slurries that contain high surface area graphites, and quickly and effectively disperse high surface area conductive materials such as Ketjenblack and carbon nanotubes by preparing a concentrated paste with the FlackTek. The FlackTek has significantly decreased dissolution time for binders. In particular, polyimides could take me over 24 hours to dissolve in NMP when using an overhead mixer.
