Pigments and fillers

Surfactant free dispersions

Dispersion Image
 
Colloidal silica is used for the dispersion of many inorganic pigments and fillers.  The small charged colloidal silica particles surround the filler or pigment particles and act as a spacer to keep the particles separated.  This greatly increases the light scattering efficiency.

The benefits are:

  • Good dispersing power and pigment wetting

  • Surfactant free pigment paste

  • Enhanced opacity

  • Reduced foam formation (in paste and coating)

  • Improved chemical resistance in coatings

  • Possibilities for improving process efficiency

  • Good pigment paste stability and easier to re-disperse paste if settled

  • Easy to use and not shear sensitive
