In paint formulations pigments take an essential place: they provide the color strength, the gloss and the color intensity to the paint.
The most common forms of pigments are: Powder pigments and Liquid Dispersions.
Pure powder pigments are the largest majority of pigments used today. To use them, formulators need to grind the pigments first. The particle size distribution of the mill base influences a lot the quality and more specifically the color strength of the final paint. Dust is a regular issue while grinding pigments: the powder is very thin and volatile and is very time consuming to clean efficiently.
A solution to avoid the fastidious grinding step is to use Liquid Dispersions:
The pigments used in LANXESS dispersions are characterized by their lightfastness, weather stability and chemical resistance, meeting paint formulators' requirements in terms of pigment properties.
Tight color tolerances and excellent dispersibility ensure reliable paint and coating formulation.
In addition, the LANXESS dispersions are solvent-free, complying with many ecological regulations, reflecting the LANXESS company sustainability policy.
LANXESS Liquid Dispersions are readily dispersed pigments in a waterborne preparation. They are very easy to incorporate in aqueous systems and require minimum energy to develop their full color strength, gloss, transparency and intensity. Liquid dispersions virtually eliminate the expensive and time-consuming grinding step needed when using traditional powder pigments.
