i've never mad siges with calgone. Does it have to be ball milled?

[BHClaysmith]

CALGONE is sodium hexametaphosphate and is a deflocculant. No it does not need to be ball milled.

[BHClaysmith]

Calgone is sodium hexametaphosphate and is a deflocculant. You should be able to get it from a supplier of chemicals.
