Water Based Pigment Dispersions

Penn color has several product lines suitable for various water based ink and coating applications.

Water based pigment dispersions.

As an example avecia solsperse 43000 polymeric dispersant would be recommended for dispersing various pigments in resin free dispersions for general industrial and decorative water based paints. A key benefit of using this kind of product is the wide resin compatibility it offers in various resin systems including polyester acrylic. Our resin free non ionic dispersion pastes can be found. Wb high performance water based dispersions.

We offer water based pigment dispersions which can be optimized to your manufacturing process to obtain the best compatibility and value. Deagglomeration in this phase of the dispersion process pigment agglomerates are separated into smaller aggregates and primary particles. Water based pigment dispersions. Pigments are particles and are generally more opaque than dyes although some of our dispersions can be manufactured to be transparent.

Recommended applications for our water based pigment dispersions include. Generally solvent based systems more readily wet a pigment due to the lower surface tension of solvents when compared to the higher surface tension of water table 2. Traditional styrenated acrylic dispersions are available for use in a variety of anionic coating and ink applications packaging decoration and labeling. Wb dispersions contain water and propylene glycol as the primary solvents and are compatible with most aqueous emulsion and water reducible coatings systems.

Our line of conventional water based liquid pigment dispersions. Pigment dispersion is a costly time consuming process considering the pigments must be properly wetted dispersed and stabilized in order to achieve the proper color and gloss.
