Wetting & Dispersing Agent
The dispersibility of the pigment is directly related to the fineness, gloss and other important quality indicators, and it can shorten the grinding time. Although pigment production plant can be produced with easy dispersing type pigments, but the existence of some varieties of pigment difficult to disperse. The customer needs in accordance with different resin systems to select wetting and dispersing agent, to get better color development, hiding power and storage stability.
