Inorganic Dispersants: Decoding the Science of Colloidal Stability

In the R&D lab of a ceramic manufacturer in East China, engineers struggled with a critical flaw in glaze suspensions - zirconia particles settled like receding tides after just 72 hours of stillness, causing frequent production line blockages. The solution emerged when a gray powder labeled Chemi Tech was introduced into the system.

These inorganic dispersants function as microscopic traffic controllers. Their specialized anionic groups rapidly anchor onto particle surfaces, elevating Zeta potential beyond critical thresholds. Suddenly, mutually attractive particles develop intense electrostatic repulsion. Under electron microscopy, 0.5-micron zirconia particles expanded their spacing from 0.1 to 0.8 microns, forming stable steric hindrance networks.

Chemi Tech's engineering team tailors charge-matching solutions by modulating dispersant sulfonation degrees and molecular weights. In trials at a South China electronic paste manufacturer, adding 2.3% KMK-665 dispersant reduced silver powder suspension viscosity by 42%, with merely 3.7% sedimentation after 30 days. Crucially, the dispersant completely decomposed without residue during 130℃ sintering, preserving the conductive film's physical properties.

This double-layer theory-based technology is redefining industrial suspension standards. Where traditional organic dispersants fail under high temperatures, Chemi Tech's inorganic alternatives excel in refractory applications. One advanced ceramics producer achieved 27% higher kiln spraying efficiency and a record 98.2% crystal phase uniformity after implementation.
