Heat-sensitive materials are substances that degrade, melt, or lose functionality when exposed to high temperatures or friction. These materials require gentle handling during size reduction to preserve their physical and chemical integrity.
Jet milling is particularly suited for processing heat-sensitive materials because it generates minimal heat and does not rely on mechanical grinding media. Instead, it uses high-velocity gas to create particle collisions, significantly reducing the risk of thermal damage or contamination.
This makes jet milling ideal for industries that work with delicate compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, food additives, and specialty chemicals, where maintaining purity and stability is essential.
