Revolutionizing Polymer Particle Size Reduction with Cryomilling

At California Nanotechnologies, we believe that the boundaries of material science are meant to be pushed. One of the most exciting ways we’re breaking new ground is with our cryogenic milling (cryomilling) technology, an advanced process that is redefining the possibilities of polymer particle reduction.

The Challenge of Polymer Particle Reduction

Polymers, particularly high-performance materials like PTFE, PEEK, and specialty fluoropolymers, are notoriously difficult to reduce into fine particles. Traditional methods often fall short when it comes to achieving the ultra-fine sizes needed for advanced applications. But what if you could reliably break these materials down into single-digit micron or even sub-micron sizes? That’s where Cal Nano steps in.

Cryomilling: Beyond Particle Reduction

Our cryomilling process doesn’t just reduce particle sizes; it opens doors to entirely new material possibilities. By leveraging ultra-low temperatures, we can make even the toughest polymers brittle, allowing them to be milled with unmatched precision. Whether starting from pellet-sized materials or larger, our cryomilling technology ensures consistency, scalability, and precision for a wide range of applications.

Tackling the Toughest Polymers

From commonly used thermoplastics like PE, PP, and Nylon to biopolymers like PLA and high-performance materials like PEEK, we’ve seen it all. Even materials often considered impossible to mill have been successfully processed in our facility. Our team thrives on solving challenges, proving time and again that innovation can overcome even the most stubborn material obstacles.

Imagine the Possibilities

The implications of cryomilling extend far beyond particle size reduction. This technology is paving the way for groundbreaking advancements across industries, including:

• Additive Manufacturing: Producing tailored powders optimized for next-generation 3D printing technologies.
• Advanced Composites: Creating materials with superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties.
• Specialty Coatings: Enhancing durability, performance, and efficiency in extreme environments.
• Biomedical Materials: Developing ultra-precise powders for medical implants, drug delivery systems, and other cutting-edge applications.
