Abstract
Several wetting and dispersing additives in relation to pigment incorporation in water-based coating and ink systems were discussed. Since the incorporation of pigments into binder solutions is expensive and time consuming, a step-by-step analysis of performance improvement methods was set forth. Special emphasis was placed upon overcoming the difficulties of achieving reproducible results. Various advances occurred in the field of wetting and dispersion technology were described. The function and mode of action of interfacially active wetting and dispersing additives in the aqueous pigment dispersions were presented. The flocculated and deflocculated pigment particles as well as different stages of the dispersion process were discussed in detail. The interfacially active wetting and dispersing additives were described in regards to effect, classification and perfornamce enhancement of water-based coating and ink systems.
