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.
