Dispersing Agents

Dispersing agents are added to facilitate the homogenous distribution of pigments or fillers in a polymeric matrix. They help in suppressing agglomerates and improving material properties: hence, better dispersion results in better processability, better consistency, better opacity /color strength. Some dispersing agents used in polymers are natural and synthetic waxes, organic acid derivatives and oligomeric derivatives like fluoro-carbon polymers and polyacrylates.

Dispersing and Coupling Agents for Filled Plastics

Fillers play an important role in plastics industry to achieve desired strength, dimensional stability and other application requirements. The performance of reinforced polymers depends not only on the filler characteristics, but also on its dispersion and the interactions formed at the polymer-filler interface. Good filler dispersion in a polymer resin is crucial for achieving desired end application performance. For effective dispersion of filler, first, it is important to understand about Dispersing and Coupling Agents. Find out how these additives operate at filler/polymer surface and what are the several benefits offered to formulations for improved performance and cost.
