Dispersing the pigment provides a variety of functions, including coloration, hiding of the substrate, transmission of light, reflection or diffusion of light, etc. However, a simple mixture of a pigment, a solvent, a resin, or the like does not necessarily function sufficiently. It is important how the pigment is finely dispersed and uniformly dispersed and stably kept.
This section briefly introduces the basic knowledge of pigment dispersion and applications for use.

What Is Pigment Dispersion?

What technology is pigment dispersion?

Typical wet pigment dispersion is a technology in which pigments and fillers are finely dispersed and suspended in a solvent or resin solution to stabilize the state. Crystals, aggregates that are strongly bound by a plurality of crystals, and agglomerates that are relatively loosely bound by crystals or aggregates. Crystals and aggregates are called primary particles (primary aggregates) in a state where they are not further reduced by chemical and mechanical methods, and particles in which the primary particles are aggregated are called secondary particles (secondary aggregates).
Pigment dispersion is an operation that brings the secondary particles closer to the primary particles. Wetting of the surface of the particles and the medium reduces the cohesion, and mechanical crushing dissociates into smaller particles. In addition, by properly selecting and adding a small amount of a dispersant, the dispersion is stabilized for a long period of time due to the effects of electrical repulsion and steric hindrance.

Advantages of pigment dispersion

By changing the degree of dispersion of pigment (particle size of fine particles and method of dispersion), it is possible to cope with various applications. (There are many requirements for the potential of the pigment itself and the formulation design.)
By carrying out pigment dispersion,
  1. Hiding, transparency, contrast, and hue
  2. Adjusting the viscosity of the ink and stabilizing the ink for a long time
  3. This is a factor that determines the function suitable for the application, such as the smoothness of the coating film.



Example of application of pigment dispersion technology

  • Transparent ink for retroreflective sheeting
  • Pigment dispersions for LCD color filters
  • Dispersion of the conductive oxide
  • AG (anti-glare) coating agent
