FLUIDINOVA is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of synthetic nano-hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate materials marketed as nanoXIM. The high quality standards of our products aim at providing companies around the world that operate in the industries of medical devices, oral care and food. Our focus on customer satisfaction and innovation helps us to establish close relationships with clients to develop the best solutions to incorporate our materials in their final products to address a vast number of applications.
Located in the Porto area, Portugal, FLUIDINOVA was created in 2005 as a spin-off from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. Having Computational Fluid Dynamics as core knowledge base the team developed a proprietary technology – NETmix - to perform chemical reactions that require perfect mixing at a micro to nanoscale.
Over time the core business of FLUIDINOVA evolved to the manufacturing and supplying the nanoXIM products using the NETmix technology.

NETmix® the Innovative Static Mixer
Patented proprietary technology of FLUIDINOVA (WO2005077508). This technology is a new concept developed for mixing liquids and/or gases with a unique and reproducible control of fluid mixture, features that are extremely important in the control of complex reactions.
NETmix® Concept
Network of chambers interconnected by channels. The innovative structure of NETmix® makes it suitable for setting particular designs of chambers and channels enabling the control of mixing quality, reaction conversion and selectivity. This feature is an advantage of this technology relatively to common reactors where these parameters are difficult to set and control.
The NETmix® technology has specific applications in the organic synthesis of pharmaceutical products, precipitates and polymeric particles with controlled particle size distribution.
NETmix® Advantages
|
Perfect mixing at micro and macro level |
|
Maximization of reaction selectivity |
|
Direct scale-up |
|
Operation versatility |
|
Easily linked to additional equipment |
|
Easy temperature control |
NETmix® Applications
NETmix® enables the design of new chemical reactors, from micro-reactors to large-scale reactors with application in the production of nanomaterials; polymerization reactions, for promoting a finer control of the molecular weight distributions; precipitation reactions, to obtain a finer manipulation on crystal sizes; in oxidation reactions, allowing the control of the reacting steps in order to achieve an effective control on the selectivity of the desired products; and in highly exothermic catalytic reactions, potentially explosive, permitting an effective and secure control of the reacting temperature during the reactive process.
The NETmix® technology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of calcium phosphate nanoparticles, magnetic and metal organic nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, polymeric microcapsules and API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) encapsulation.
