Dispersants are used to disperse various powders in solvents in a reasonable manner, and to stably suspend various solids in solvents (or dispersions) through certain charge repulsion principles or polymer steric hindrance effects. Dispersants are surfactants that have two opposite properties, lipophilicity and hydrophilicity, in the molecule. They can evenly disperse solid and liquid particles of inorganic and organic pigments that are difficult to dissolve in liquids.
High-efficiency and environmentally friendly water-based dispersants are non-flammable and non-corrosive, infinitely soluble in water, and insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and benzene. They have excellent dispersing effects on various pigments such as kaolin, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, talcum powder, zinc oxide, and iron oxide yellow, and are also suitable for the dispersion of mixed pigments. The functional characteristics of water-based dispersants are explained as follows:
It can be used as a post-additive to effectively reduce shear viscosity and improve the fluidity and leveling of paints.
Water-based dispersants are an indispensable additive in the paint industry. It helps to disperse paint pigments and fillers. Make the paint easier to disperse and uniform. In addition, it also plays a role in making the coating smooth during the film-forming process of the paint.
Replace ammonia water and other alkaline substances as neutralizers to reduce the smell of ammonia and improve the production and construction environment.
Water-based paint dispersants can effectively control the pH value and improve the efficiency and viscosity stability of thickeners.
Improve the dispersion effect of pigments, improve the bottoming and coarsening of pigment particles, improve the color development of color paste and the gloss of paint film.
Water-based paint dispersants are volatile and will not remain in the paint film for a long time. They can be used in high-gloss paints and have excellent water resistance and scrub resistance.
