Pigment Dispersions

A pigment dispersion is a uniform and stable distribution of pigment particles within a liquid medium, typically used in the production of paints, inks, coatings, plastics, cosmetics, and other materials where colour is required.

Saville Whittle supplies a full range of both water-based pigment dispersions and solvent-based pigment dispersions.

Components of a Pigment Dispersion

  • Pigments

    Help stabilise the dispersion and reduce the pigment particles sticking together.
  • Carrier medium
    The liquid in which the pigments are dispersed (e.g. water, oil, solvent, or resin).
  • Additives
    Used to improve stability, viscosity, or application properties.
