Inorganic Pigment Wetting Dispersant: The Chemical Key to Solving Dispersion Challenges

In the coating production plant, technician Zhang was troubled by the latest batch of gray paint. The product showed noticeable color differences - some areas appeared darker while others looked unevenly light. After thorough investigation, the problem was traced to the pigment dispersion process where titanium dioxide and carbon black particles tended to agglomerate.

This represents a common pain point in inorganic pigment applications: what seems like simple pigment dispersion actually hides complex challenges. The van der Waals forces between pigment particles cause them to agglomerate, and conventional mechanical mixing often fails to address this fundamentally. This is where professional inorganic pigment wetting dispersants come into play.

The Agglomeration Dilemma: Hidden Barriers in Pigment Dispersion

Inorganic pigments like titanium dioxide and iron oxide, while chemically stable, face three major challenges:

These issues not only impact aesthetics but may also compromise coating performance. Conventional dispersion methods often provide temporary solutions without addressing the fundamental interparticle interactions.

Chemi Tech's Solution: Molecular-Level Dispersion Technology

After years of technical accumulation, Chemi Tech's R&D team has developed a series of specialized wetting dispersants for inorganic pigments. The core technologies include:

In one case, a coating manufacturer using conventional dispersants observed significant stratification in gray paint after just two weeks of storage. After switching to Chemi Tech's KMK-325 dispersant, not only did the initial dispersion improve by 30%, but the paint maintained excellent stability after three months of storage testing, helping the company significantly reduce rework rates.
