Industry Applications of the MagnoMeter XRS™ Suite

The MagnoMeter XRS™ suite enables precise, non-invasive analysis of particle-liquid systems across a range of industries. From formulation to process control, it helps optimize performance, stability, and efficiency by providing deeper insight into dispersion behavior, surface interactions, and material consistency.

Paints & Coatings

In paint and coating production, the MagnoMeter is used to evaluate pigment wettability, optimize dispersant selection, and monitor dispersion stability throughout the formulation process. It helps reduce over-milling, ensures batch-to-batch consistency, and improves the shelf-life of slurries and finished products by identifying sedimentation trends early. It is also valuable for formulating high-performance metallic or effect paints, where surface interaction control is critical.

Batteries & Energy Storage

In lithium-ion battery production, especially for anodes using conductive carbon black, the system measures how well particles are dispersed within slurries. This ensures better conductivity, charge rate performance, and longevity. The tool supports optimization of formulation parameters that directly impact electrochemical performance, such as particle surface area, dispersion quality, and settling behavior.

Pharmaceuticals

The MagnoMeter plays a key role in characterizing suspensions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), monitoring sedimentation rates, and ensuring homogeneity in both R&D and manufacturing. It can detect differences in particle wettability and formulation stability, enabling faster formulation development and ensuring compliance with quality standards—especially in high-concentration suspensions or emulsions.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

For creams, foundations, and sunscreens, the MagnoMeter helps determine pigment and filler dispersion quality, enabling optimized texture, appearance, and performance. It also helps monitor the stability of emulsions and prevents phase separation or sedimentation in complex cosmetic formulations. This ensures reliable sensory attributes and longer shelf-life.

Food & Beverage

In the development and production of emulsified or colloidal food products (like sauces, dairy drinks, or dressings), the system helps assess how particles or droplets interact with the liquid phase. It allows manufacturers to fine-tune formulations for consistency, mouthfeel, and visual appeal while minimizing the risk of phase separation or settling.

Construction Materials

In cement, mortar, and concrete admixtures, the MagnoMeter enables monitoring of additive dispersion and sedimentation behavior in viscous or reactive systems. This helps improve workability, uniformity, and storage stability of liquid components or pigment suspensions used in decorative materials and colored concrete.
