No more precipitation: additives for the next generation of slurry

Pigment slurry, such as titanium dioxide or fillers, is an essential intermediate in the production of, for example, architectural coatings. Created Resource Efficiency Co., Ltd. has introduced a new technology to disperse additives to effectively prevent sedimentation during slurry storage or transportation. As a result, expensive and time-consuming tank cleaning and maintenance processes can be avoided
the
. In addition, since no more subsiding occurs, pigments are not lost, making it easier to calculate the formulation of the slurry.
for effective treatment, the slurry should have a high pigment content and low viscosity, however, this low viscosity promotes the formation of sediment and dehydration contractions during storage or transport. Therefore, in addition to particle stability, fluid flow is the key to good performance. The next generation of new dispersion additives has a unique fluid behavior, with significant yield points, very strong shear thinning, and extremely fast recovery without applying shear force.
unique combination of dispersion and fluid properties, the new additive is a two-in-one solution for slurry formulaters. By optimizing molecular geometry and process parameters, our high-volume equipment laboratory has conducted extensive testing. Test results confirm excellent compatible with ordinary adhesives, high masking and good moisture scrub resistance. According to these tests, the subsiding rate was avoided by 100%.
Created", "anti-sink additives" are still under development and have not yet been developed. To learn more about this product innovation, listen to Ellen Reuter at the European Coatings Exhibition in Nuremberg on March 18 at 3:30 p.m.
