Due to the disadvantage of sedimentation during storage of decorative paints, makes it necessary to ensure that pigmentation process is through. Often the re-dispersion process can be costly to the manufacturers and their clients. That is why low dispersion efforts bring better results. Pigment 112 is a versatile option across industry verticalslike decorative paints, industrial coatings and agricultural seed coating.

• How do manufacturers address the challenges?
• Is pigment 112 the best bet to reduce sedimentation?

We try to answer these queries that benefit customers who wish to apply pigment 112 for their product lines. 

Why low dispersion is critical?

Manufacturers try to address the challenges by keeping a strict eye on the client requirement. Take for example, in coatings the properties are strong only when the dispersion is optimal. If it does not contain the desired strength for tinting the efficiency of the product is reduced. It also results in a very high formulation cost which is not feasible to any involved party. The pigment needs to be balanced with color development and processing expenditures by grinding pigments. The dispersion is required either for a single production system or complex nature of a product. If the pigment dispersion is easy it adds to the stability, consistency and eventually the profitability of the product. Constantly new developments in this area are used to improve performance and reduce energy consumption.

Improved dispersion quality with pigment 112

There are many ways in which the dispersible pigments are processed. In the case of pigment 112 the focus is on surface modification, its treatment and coverage. There is a possible use of reagents to displace water with alkyds resins or cellulose. Pigment 112 I commonly used in industrial applications due to versatile coloring properties. It is referred as a naphthol AS pigment which can be dispersed finely with the binder. Its improved dispersibility provides a longer shelf life to the product and reduced storage loss. Several water borne coatings are enhanced by this process and usage of this pigment. Seed coating in the agricultural sector is used for crop protection from diseases and pests. The coloring properties of this pigment ensure that the seeds are not affected by environmental changes and provide vigor for nutritional value.

Choice of pigment paste in aqueous system

A client is always looking for cost effective solutions and creating a technical differentiation is important. The development of Suncoat pigment dispersion for paint & coats are very distinctive in their properties. The stability is mainly because of the testing done in labs to create high quality formulation. With the right shade card each client is offered a customized solution. The challenge to create a good appearance is done with latest technology and efficient processes in the manufacturing unit. There is a control over the cost of production for a wide variety of industrial applications. The less dispersant provides the paint coating to be least corrosive.
