Particle dispersions—including pigment dispersions—are ready made dispersions of a solid particle in a liquid or polymer medium. The goal is to disperse and stabilize particles so re-agglomeration doesn’t occur, even with difficult-to-disperse particles. This is achieved by using dispersant technology to reduce inter-particle attraction and particle size.

Lubrizol is dedicated to developing and delivering products that enable efficient particle dispersions and inorganic and organic pigment dispersions to be produced that offer a number of unique, customizable benefits for many different types of applications.

Through decades of extensive dispersant research and a history of innovation, Lubrizol provides added value with this broad experience and a wide range of high-performance products. Where other products might struggle, our technology and knowledge in particle dispersions are known to solve difficult challenges, offering the highest pigment and filler loadings, optimal color strength and gloss, controlled flow and levelling, and more.

Lubrizol continues to innovate in this space to deliver enhanced performance and value, consistently introducing new products, such as dispersants for water-based systems, higher solid systems and 100-percent active systems to reduce VOCs.
