Dispersants

Based on 3115 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Dispersing agents are available in liquid or powder form and function by reducing interfacial tension between pigments and the coating matrix. They enhance color strength, gloss, and uniformity while optimizing viscosity and flow characteristics. They contribute to improved coating durability, reduced sedimentation, and enhanced opacity, making them ideal for architectural, automotive, and industrial coatings. 

The industry is shifting toward low-VOC, APEO-free, and biodegradable dispersing agents in response to stringent environmental regulations. Dispersing agents are classified into anionic, cationic, nonionic, and polymeric types. Alternatives include surfactants and wetting agents, which aid dispersion but may not provide the same long-term stability.
