The diversification of dispersants has led to the development of various types with specific performance characteristics—some focused on stability, others on color, and still others on viscosity reduction, among others. In today’s era of environmental awareness, as solvent-based coatings strive for higher PVC content and lower VOC levels, the flow properties and uniformity of the slurry have become the primary issues that need to be addressed.
