Newer polymeric dispersants, which represent improved alternatives to the more traditional anionic dispersants, enable formulators to achieve good stability and color properties for dispersed pigments in waterborne paint systems.
H.B. Fuller Co. has signed an agreement to sell its surfactants, thickeners and dispersants business to Tiarco LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Textile Rubber and Chemical Co. Inc.
With ever-changing regulations and environmental requirements comes a continuous need for advanced water-borne (WB), low VOC or VOC-free coating formulations that deliver similar qualities as solvent-borne (SB) systems.
Troysperse™ ZWD3 dispersant is engineered for formulations requiring excellent color development capabilities, high pigment loadings and fast dispersion time.
Dow Coating Materials, a global business unit of The Dow Chemical Co., Midland, MI, plans to expand production of its dispersants product line in response to increasing global demand.
