To the September issue of the PowderHandling.com.au online newsletter.

It's always interesting to see what search phrases bring traffic to the PowderHandling.com.au web site and, while the list of phrases used is always very wide and varied, there are always some very popular phrases that get used many times each month.

One phrase which is always high on the search list is "Bulk Density Chart" or "Bulk Density of ________" where people are searching for the density of a specific product. The bulk density resource we provide on the web site, has a searchable data base of almoat 1000 different powder or granular products and is a valuable industry tool - as we see every month by the number of people accessing the web site to use it! Why not give it a try?

We regularly feature the top 20 most popular suppliers in our newsletter. This month, we are doing it again, only we are featuring the top 20 suppliers in New Zealand and the top 20 suppliers in Australia separately.
