Particle Size Table

Particle size is an important characteristic of any formulation. Not only does it influence fluidization and
transport through pumps, hoses and guns, it also affects the electrostatic behavior of the coating powder. Inline sieves are sold or specified by mesh or micron size.
The table lists sieve sizes (U.S. mesh) with the corresponding measurements. This information may be
important to communicate to equipment suppliers or your Rohm and Haas Sales or technical representative.
