  • it leads to the formation of deposits on the dryer walls and thus reduces the powder yield.
  • Drying aids are used to prevent or at least reduce the irreversible secondary particle formation during powder production. These are often referred to as spray aids because spray drying particularly promotes the formation of irreversibly agglomerated secondary particles. This effect is more pronounced the lower the glass cover transition temperature (and thus the softening temperature or the minimum film-forming temperature) of the polymer particles, especially if it is below the drying temperature.
  • drying aids generally reduce the formation of polymer coating adhering to the dryer wall and thus increase the powder yield.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production de poudres polymères, par vaporisation des composants volatils de dispersions aqueuses d'un polymère filmogène P, caractérisé en ce que la dispersion polymère aqueuse renferme encore, avant la vaporisation des composants volatils, des auxiliaires de séchage T, présents en une quantité de 0,1 à 80 % en poids, par rapport au polymère P de la dispersion, et en ce qu'on utilise comme auxiliaire de séchage T, une protéine ou des produits de dégradation protéiniques. On utilise de préférence comme auxiliaire de séchage T, un hydrolysat de gélatine.
