Advanced technologies for advanced materials.

Powder Synthesis

PIDC produces custom molecular structures using Alumina, Zeolite, and Mixed Oxide materials, offering high purity levels and countless variations to accommodate your need. Our proprietary powder synthesis covers a wide array of ratios, single or multiple components, and our technology operates across a broad temperature and pressure range.

• Reactor design
• Tailored raw materials
• High purity material precipitation
• Co-precipitation
• Solid state synthesis routes
• Hydrothermal synthesis routes

Property Modification

Often, material properties need to be tuned to meet demanding final application criteria. PIDC has developed expertise in controlling these properties of the final product with precision. Our production processes give us the flexibility to customize surface area, porosity, density, and particle size to meet any application requirement, and can be additionally fine-tuned if needed.

Controllable material properties include:

• Crystal size and shape
• Composition and purity
• Surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter
• Phase of the material
• Particle size distribution (larger or smaller or specific changes in distribution)
  • Wet and dry milling techniques

Material Shaping

PIDC has the capability to form powders to a variety of shapes and sizes. The shaped products can be manufactured as a support or metal loaded catalyst. Our vertical integration of powder manufacturing allows a wide range of options to tailor specific properties.

• Extrudates (hollow, solid, trilobes, quadralobes, and more)
• Tablets (cylinder, enquire for available sizes)
• Spheres (0.5mm - 6mm)
• Granules (0.5mm - 9mm)
• Chemical purity
• Crystalline phase purity
• Oxidative state control (for rare earths)
• Particle morphology
• Porosity and pore size distribution
• Thermal stability
• Surface chemistry

Joint/Custom Development

Through a collaborative effort between PIDC, our customers, universities, national laboratories, and more, we provide seamless transitions from concept to production. Our capabilities and speed to delivery provides a distinct advantage when working with R&D startups and large corporations. We have the expertise required to transform your R&D product into mass production with as little disruption as possible.
