Water Based Pigment Dispersions

Generally solvent based systems more readily wet a pigment due to the lower surface tension of solvents when compared to the higher surface tension of water table 2.

Water based pigment dispersions.

As an example avecia solsperse 43000 polymeric dispersant would be recommended for dispersing various pigments in resin free dispersions for general industrial and decorative water based paints. Wb high performance water based dispersions. Pigment dispersions for water based ink evolving markets are leading to new and challenging customer demands and ink manufacturers need to be able to react quickly. Our water based pigment dispersions have been used in non woven textiles soaps architectural and construction coatings excelsior and many other specialty applications.

Pigment dispersion is a costly time consuming process considering the pigments must be properly wetted dispersed and stabilized in order to achieve the proper color and gloss. A key benefit of using this kind of product is the wide resin compatibility it offers in various resin systems including polyester acrylic. Traditional styrenated acrylic dispersions are available for use in a variety of anionic coating and ink applications packaging decoration and labeling. Deagglomeration in this phase of the dispersion process pigment agglomerates are separated into smaller aggregates and primary particles.

Recommended applications for our water based pigment dispersions include. Our line of conventional water based liquid pigment dispersions. Water based pigment dispersions. Wb dispersions contain water and propylene glycol as the primary solvents and are compatible with most aqueous emulsion and water reducible coatings systems.

Pigments are particles and are generally more opaque than dyes although some of our dispersions can be manufactured to be transparent. Our resin free non ionic dispersion pastes can be found.
