Industrial Mixers
-
-
INDUSTRIAL MIXERSMost chemical processes involve mixing. As diverse as manufacturing is the mixing operations and requirements vary greatly. Mixing requirements include liquid blending, solid suspension, pigment dispersion, and these operations can be complicated by product viscosity. We offer a broad selection of industrial mixers for all your mixing needs. From small portable mixers and lab dispersers to low-speed agitators and high-speed dispersers through multi-shaft mixers and planetary mixers we offer mixers to handle the toughest mixing problems.

An absolute value for evaporation rate of butyl acetate and other solvents cannot be defined. Such a number would depend on many variables such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, air flow, viscosity etc. ASTM developed a standard test method, D3539-87(2004) Standard Test Methods for Evaporation Rates of Volatile Liquids by Shell Thin-Film Evaporometer, but it was withdrawn in 2015 without public explanation.
The below links provide detailed info on determining Evaporation rates and a calculator which may prove helpful.
