Dispersing agents are used in plastics to ensure a uniform distribution of fillers and pigments, resulting in a smooth, consistent appearance. These agents function by reducing the attraction between solid particles, preventing agglomeration and promoting stable suspensions. Key features include improved processability, enhanced mechanical properties, and better color strength. Dispersing agents are used in packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods.
Alternatives to dispersing agents include coupling agents. A notable trend is the development of eco-friendly dispersing agents that aim to reduce environmental impact. Sub-types of dispersing agents are polyacrylic acid dispersants and polymeric surfactants.
