Water-based systems are increasingly favored across various industries due to their environmental benefits and reduced VOC content. However, achieving stable and high-performing pigment dispersions in these systems presents unique challenges. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers specialized high-performance dispersants that are specifically engineered to excel in water-based applications, ensuring superior color development, stability, and processing efficiency.

Challenges in Water-Based Pigment Dispersion

Water, while environmentally friendly, has different surface tension and solvency properties compared to organic solvents. This can make wetting and dispersing hydrophobic organic pigments more difficult. Without the right chemical auxiliaries, pigments in water-based formulations may exhibit poor dispersion, leading to:

  • Agglomeration and flocculation of pigment particles.
  • Increased viscosity and difficulty in achieving target solids content.
  • Reduced color strength and vibrancy.
  • Poor film formation and print quality.
  • Instability, such as sedimentation or settling over time.

How Our Dispersants Empower Water-Based Systems

The high-performance dispersants from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. are formulated to overcome these challenges. They are designed to:

  • Provide Excellent Wetting: Effectively reduce the surface tension between water and organic pigments, ensuring thorough particle coverage.
  • Deliver Outstanding Deflocculation: Create strong electrostatic or steric repulsion between pigment particles, maintaining their separation and preventing aggregation.
  • Improve Color Development: Maximize the inherent color strength of organic pigments by ensuring they are fully dispersed and accessible.
  • Reduce Grinding Viscosity: Facilitate easier processing and allow for higher pigment loading without compromising flow properties.
  • Enhance Stability: Provide long-term dispersion stability, crucial for product shelf life and consistent performance.
  • Be APEO-Free: Align with sustainability goals and regulatory requirements for water-based formulations.

Our dispersants are particularly effective for pigments like phthalocyanine blue and green, and various azo pigments (reds and yellows), which are commonly used in inks and coatings. By improving the interaction between the pigment and the aqueous medium, our products help unlock the full potential of these colorants.
