A more recent development is that of non-dusting, free-flowing pigments. Because of their highly cohesive nature, DR pigments have not presented much of a dusting problem, and dust collection systems are typically present in major plants. However, free-flowing powders facilitate the handling of these powders and are finding increasing applications.
Currently, some free-flowing DR powders are commercially available. They are microgranulated powders that withstand shipping without disintegrating. It is also critical that these microgranulates adequately redisperse back into their original fine particulate form during their process applications.
