Global Pigment Dispersion Market: Outlook

Pigments are particles used for imparting colors in coatings, paints, and plastics. In pigment dispersion, pigment agglomerates are split into key particles by shearing forces & impact. Reportedly, pigment dispersion method involves wetting, stabilizing, and dispersing and requires high paint quality production along with maintaining color standards in paints. Key features of pigment dispersion are its bright hue, stability, viscosity, and size. However, irregular pigment dispersion can result in reduced gloss proportion, color changes, flocculation, leveling, sagging, separation, and settling.
