Electrophotographic Ferrite Powders
Powdertech is a leading supplier of carrier powders for electrophotographic applications
In an industry that demands the highest level of precision and performance, Powdertech has emerged as the leading global supplier of carrier powders for state-of-the-art electrophotographic applications. Our continuous investment in research and development ensures the highest level of quality and consistency as well as the most innovative solutions to client needs.
Carriers are magnetic beads smaller than the thickness of a human hair, which can be used to transport precise layers of powdered material. Effective carrier function requires demanding control and consistency in carrier manufacturing. Powdertech’s unparalleled standard of excellence from concept through manufacture provides cost effective products which meet and exceed the performance demands of our customers.
Superior technology for unique applications
In electrophotographic applications carrier is used as part of the mechanism to transfer powders to a substrate. Electrophotographic technology is rapidly expanding to applications beyond laser printing, such as 3D printing for additive manufacturing. Powdertech has the history and expertise to meet new challenges as technology continues to evolve. Powdertech has developed carriers to support the development of machines which coat or print on a variety of substrates including paper, ceramics, exotic composites, wood and metal.
Powdertech professionals work closely with client engineers to develop customized carriers that perform at the highest level, whatever the specific application – and to do so in a highly controlled manner that maximizes efficiency and reduces waste.
