A dispersant for paints and coatings is an indispensable chemical additive designed to address the challenge of dispersing and stabilizing pigment particles within a liquid medium. During paint manufacturing, raw pigment powders tend to agglomerate into stubborn clusters. Dispersants function through their unique molecular structure, featuring one end that strongly adsorbs onto the pigment surface and another that extends into the resin solution (binder). This mechanism generates either electrostatic repulsion or steric hindrance between individual pigment particles, preventing their re-agglomeration and ensuring a uniform, stable dispersion over time. This process not only significantly reduces grinding energy and enhances production efficiency but also fully develops the pigment's coloring strength and hiding power. Consequently, it guarantees a consistent color, optimal gloss, and prevents defects such as sedimentation, hard settling, and floating in the final paint film, making it a crucial component for achieving superior coating appearance and performance.
