High-performance pigments for paper coating and tinting applications, delivering exceptional brightness, opacity, and whiteness while enhancing print quality and surface characteristics.
Pigment Dispersions
Advanced water-based pigment dispersions are finely milled suspensions of color pigments specifically engineered for the paper industry, providing superior coloration, stability, and environmental benefits for coating and tinting applications.
Key Characteristics
Water-Based Formulation: Environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based systems
Fine Particle Size: Optimized distribution for uniform color and smooth application
High Stability: Prevents settling, clumping, and degradation during storage
Controlled Rheology: Optimized flow properties for various application methods
Performance Benefits
Consistent Coloration: Uniform color distribution throughout the paper
Superior Lightfastness: Excellent resistance to fading and color degradation
Easy Integration: Seamless incorporation into existing manufacturing processes
Reduced Environmental Impact: Lower VOC emissions and safer handling
Dispersion Types
Acrylic-Based (Resinated)
Contains resin binders for enhanced adhesion and durability in coating applications
Surfactant-Based (Resinless)
Pure pigment dispersions with surfactants for maximum color strength and flexibility
FDA-Compliant
Specially formulated for food-contact paper and paperboard applications
Advanced composite particles combining the cost-effectiveness of calcium carbonate with the superior optical properties of titanium dioxide.
Structure: TiO₂ uniformly coated on CaCO₃ core particles
Performance: Similar hiding power and whiteness to pure TiO₂ at reduced cost
Advantage: 3% improvement in paper whiteness compared to pure fiber paper
