Wet milling is most commonly used, during which dye or pigment particles are dispersed and ground in suspensions or dispersions down to just a few microns — sometimes even nanometers. Beads serve as the grinding medium in bead mills, transferring mechanical energy to the particles being reduced. By adjusting the particle size of paints and coatings, their desired properties can be achieved — such as coverage, film thickness, gloss, or durability.
