Hi Dominik, a comment added to Edmund's remark on celluse powder pellets: from our experience with PE we typically add graphite powder to the PE or now celluse for a better heat conductivity (and electrical conductivity in case of charging). Good luck Eberhard
Dear list,
for many years, I have used "Merck Uvasol Polyethylene for spectroscopy" PE powder as a diluent and binder for pressing self-supporting pellets especially of air-sensitive substances. When I today wanted to order a new bottle, I had to learn that it's not available anymore (actually, since 2002... :-)).
Does anyone of you know about any other supplier of spectroscopy-grade polyethylene powder? And more general, which binder/diluent do you use for preparing pellets of sensitive substances ?
Best regards, Dominik
