Cryogenic Grinding of Polymers with the CG-200 Freezer/Mill®

Processing polymers into fine particles is critical for consistent performance in research, manufacturing, and recycling. However, traditional grinding methods at room temperature generate heat, leading to material  degradation, inconsistent particle sizes, and potential contamination issues. 

This application note outlines the practical considerations involved in cryogenic grinding polymers, emphasizing common challenges, grinder selection, and process optimization.
