Application Example
MICHROMA DISPOMAX 1000
High-Performance Low Foaming Dispersing Agent
A high-performance low foaming dispersing agent based on polycarboxylate chemistry, specially designed for effective dispersion of inorganic pigments, fillers, and clays in aqueous systems. Its unique anionic mechanism helps in separating pigment particles and maintaining stability.
Applications
Key Features
Working Principle
MICHROMA DISPOMAX 1000 functions by imparting a strong anionic charge on pigment particles, preventing agglomeration and ensuring effective separation. This electrostatic stabilization allows pigment particles to remain uniformly dispersed and easily wetted by water.

Prevention of Flocculation
Keeps pigment particles separated, ensuring uniform dispersion and stability
Anti-Settling Properties
Reduces sedimentation during storage, improving shelf life
High Electrolyte Stability
Provides good stability even in presence of divalent cations
Improved Pigment Loading
Allows higher loading of pigments and fillers
Reduced Dispersion Time
Improves processing efficiency and reduces energy consumption
Enhanced Opacity & Tinting Strength
Improves color strength and covering power
Improved Gloss
Enhances surface finish and visual appearance
Compatibility with Reactive Pigments
Suitable for systems containing Zinc Oxide, Basic Lead Silicate, etc.
Technical Properties
Recommended Dosage
Typical dosage: 1 – 2% (based on total formulation or pigment weight). Optimized based on pigment type, solid content, and application requirement.
