ZETASPERSE® 179 Dispersant was designed to provide steric stabilization for the aqueous dispersion of pigments and particles. A non-ionic, high-HLB surfactant, ZETASPERSE® 179 Dispersant can provide performance benefits in the aqueous dispersion of organic, carbon black, and inorganic pigments as well as fillers and functional solid chemicals.
Most effective when used as a secondary dispersant in conjunction with anionic polymeric dispersants and grind resins, ZETASPERSE® 179 Dispersant can provide significant wetting, milling, and steric stabilization benefits, often improving milling efficiency, color development, and dispersion stability to enable formulators to achieve higher performance. ZETASPERSE® 179 Dispersant is similar to ZETASPERSE® 182 dispersant and offers different synergies with formulation components.
