Definitions for "Dispersing Agent"
An admixture capable of increasing the fluidity of pastes, mortars, or concretes by reduction of interparticle attraction.
An admixture capable of increasing the fluidity of concrete
Surface-active substance used to facilitate the suspension of solid compounding materials in a liquid medium and to stabilize the dispersion thereby produced. An efficient dispersing agent can perform pigment wetting, dispersing, and stabilizing. Dispersing agents are different depending on the nature of the paint. Polyphosphates, styrene-maleinates and polyacrylates are used in water-based paints whereas lecytine, fatty acid derivatives and low molecular weight modified alkyd and polyester resins are used in solvent-based and solvent-free paints. (more about dispersion mechanism) Syn. Dispersant
An additive used in marbling to help paint or ink to float on top of the size. Also what the carrier is sometimes called for Disperse Dyes.
Promotes the formation and stabilization of a dispersion of one substance into another.
A material that reduces the cohesive attraction between like particles.
A material that reduces the cohesive forces between similar particles.
