In coating and ink production, pigment dispersion directly determines product performance. Many manufacturers have long relied on the imported dispersant DISPERBYK-110, but face pain points such as large price fluctuations, long delivery cycles and limited technical adaptability. To meet these needs, Chemi Tech has launched the high-performance dispersant KMT-4130, offering a practical and feasible alternative.
Core market pain points include:
1. Continuously rising prices of imported products and significant cost pressure;
2. Insufficient dispersion stability leading to settling or flocculation;
3. Limited compatibility of existing dispersants across different pigment systems.
The Chemi Tech solution follows three steps:
Step 1: Free sample testing. We provide matching samples based on the customer's existing formulation for comparison experiments.
Step 2: Dispersion process optimization. Feeding order and dispersion equipment parameters are adjusted to maximize dispersion efficiency.
Step 3: Stability verification. This includes heat storage, centrifugal stability and viscosity change evaluation.
Case study: An industrial coatings company originally used DISPERBYK-110 in a carbon black system and saw re-flocculation after storage. After switching to KMT-4130 and a 14-day heat storage test at 50°C, pigment dispersion stability improved markedly, viscosity fluctuation narrowed from 35% to 12%, and costs fell by about 20%.
Chemi Tech specializes in polymeric dispersant R&D and provides full-process technical tracking to ensure a smooth, seamless substitution. Existing customers report that after substitution, products meet expected standards in gloss, tinting strength and batch stability.
