The dispersion of pigments in a final paint and coating product signifi-cantly impacts important properties of the formulation.Gloss,weather and chemical resistance,color strength and hiding power,adhesion,and durabil-ity can be enhanced or reduced depending on the nature of the dispersion,On the surface,dispersion-or the mixing of powder into a liquid by rapidly breaking apart agglomerates and uniformly distributing and wetting them- seems to be one of the simpler aspects of producing paints and coatings.If one looks deeper,however,it quickly becomes apparent that dispersion is a complex process involving a multitude of variables,all of which can affect the desired outcome and,therefore,the quality of the final formulation.In this article,we focus on the different types of equipment used to disperse pigments.
