Course Description:

One of the most challenging objectives for paint and coating formulators is to ensure a compatible and stable dispersion of pigments, fillers and matting agents. In time, particles can re-agglomerate, due to intermolecular attractive forces, and even hard settle because of specific weight. An understanding of the pigment dispersion process along with the wide array of wetting and dispersing agents available is helpful to achieve optimum color development and stability. Topics covered will include chemistry, theory, mechanism and concepts including the electric double layer, DLVO theory, depletion flocculation, dispersant types and optimum dispersant concentration, as well as “grinding” equipment.

Course Outline:

  • Equipment Used to Produce Colorants
  • Components of a Colorant Formulation
  • The Pigment Dispersion Process
  • Pigment Stabilization Mechanisms
  • Electric Double Layer and the DLVO Theory
  • Optimum Dispersant Concentrations
  • Wetting/Dispersing Agent Types and Chemistry
