Applications

Pigment Dispersion

Pigment dispersion agents are specialty chemicals used to disperse and stabilize pigments in paint & coating formulations. They help achieve uniform color, prevent flocculation, and improve tint strength and stability.

Esteem Industries offers surfactant-based dispersing agents for organic pigments and carbon blacks, supplementary dispersing agents, specialty additives for paints, humectants, and special solvents designed for pigment concentrates, tinters for waterborne coatings, and textile printing inks.
