PROCESSING MATERIALS WITH STAR BURST™

Application examples: micronization of materials for pigments.

Star Burst is the ideal solution for milling and micronization of pigments with minimal contamination. Explore materials by clicking below.

Please note: The magnifications of microscope images before and after processing are not always the same.
