Surface modification of particles is one of the most important and least understood processes for particle processing. It can be used to mask flavors or odors, add color, as well as improve the reactivity, solubility, flowability and wetting characteristics of the particles. Part of the difficulty of this field of particle processing is the diversity of applications and the variety of the methods that can be used. AVEKA makes many of these applications available for its customers.

Magnetically Assisted Impact Coating (MAIC, pronounced 'mace'), is a patented process used to coat smaller particles onto larger particles or to apply small amounts of liquids onto particles. The system relies on a peening process in which small magnets in an oscillating magnetic field are fluidized to rapidly move in both a translational and rotational manner to peen or force the coating material onto the larger particles. By adding a smaller coating particle and a large core particle into the assembly of the oscillating magnets, the small particles are readily and strongly coated onto the core particles. Likewise, the magnets will distribute a small amount of liquid, such as an organosilane, evenly throughout the core particles and robustly apply them to the surface. The core and coating materials flow continuously through the magnet beds at rates of 8-600 pounds per hour. Materials that have been used in this process include glasses, pigments, metals, metal oxides, polymers, and organic and inorganic powders. A unique aspect of the particle on particle product is that, in many cases, the dry coated composite particle will not dissociate in the dry state or when the composite is put into a dispersion.
