Granulates are materials that have been processed into granules of solid material of consistent size and homogeneous shape. Granulates are easy to handle and transport and are used in many industries including the chemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture.

Powder refers to a finely ground or pulverised material that usually exists in free-form and does not have a consistent size or shape. Powders are used in many industries including the chemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry.

Granulates and powders can be made from various types of materials depending on the specific application and may have different properties such as reactivity, melting point and stability.

The appropriate material form (granulates or powder) depends on the specific application, processing methods and desired end products. Some applications require powder and some require granulates, while others require both.
