Coating dispersant is an important additive used to improve the dispersibility of pigments and fillers in coating systems. Dispersants can reduce the attraction between pigment particles, prevent them from aggregating, and thus improve the stability and uniformity of coatings. The following is a detailed introduction about paint dispersants:

Coating dispersants promote the uniform dispersion of pigments in coatings by reducing the interfacial tension between pigment particles.

Their main functions include:

Improve dispersibility: Help pigments and fillers disperse better in the coating system, preventing agglomeration.

Improve stability: Enhance the suspension stability of pigments in coatings, reduce settling and delamination phenomena.

Improve coloring power: Increase the coloring power of pigments to make the paint color more vivid and uniform.

Improve rheological properties: Adjust the viscosity and flowability of the coating to enhance its construction performance.


Types of Dispersant

How Dispersants Help Achieve Uniform Distribution in Paints and Inks

How Dispersants Help Achieve Uniform Distribution in Paints and Inks
  • Reduce surface tension: Dispersant molecules form a thin film on the surface of pigment particles, reducing the interfacial tension between pigment particles and liquid, making the pigment easier to disperse.

  • Electrostatic repulsion: Dispersants can impart charges to pigment particles, preventing them from aggregating through electrostatic repulsion.

  • Spatial hindrance: Dispersant molecules form a protective film on the surface of pigment particles, preventing them from approaching each other through spatial hindrance effect.

  • Wetting effect: Dispersants can help liquids better wet pigment particles and improve the wetting properties of pigments.

The Benefits of Dispersants in Enhancing Stability and Performance in Formulations

Paint dispersants are widely used in multiple fields, including but not limited to:

  • Architectural coatings: Improve coating quality and appearance, prevent pigment settling and delamination.

  • Industrial coatings: Improve the uniformity and adhesion of coatings, especially on metal and plastic substrates.

  • Wood coatings: Improve the smoothness and gloss of the coating, prevent floating color and discoloration.

  • Automotive coatings: Improve the smoothness and durability of coatings, especially during the spraying process.

  • Printing ink: Improve the spreading and adhesion of ink on paper and other substrates.
