Home                                  Dispersant Demand of Spherical Particle
Pigments and other solids additives in coatings require stabilization to prevent flocculation. Dispersed particles can be stabilized by a charge or using steric stabilization. A layer thickness of about 100-150 Angstrom is required for steric stabilization of particles in the micron range.
