Easily Dispersible Pigments – The Idea
 Starting point
In the paint manufacturing process, the dispersion of pigments
o requires expensive technical equipment
o is time consuming
o is difficult to be controlled
 The system solution
Easily Dispersible pigments (ED pigments)
o Develop full tinting strength without classical milling
equipment
o Enable fast, efficient and controlled process
High speed Dissolver

For ED pigments:
Bead mill
1. Pre-dispersion: dissolver 15 min
min
2. Grinding: bead mill 60 minutes

The shades were made in Clariant alkyd melamine baking enamel binder
No additive was necessary to disperse the EDS pigments
4% Disperbyk 111 was needed to disperse the inorganic pigments
Use of the dissolver only at 21 m/s for 30 min

Scale up of a solvent based pigment dispersion using:
Pigment Red 254-EDS (1 ton)
Standard pigments
Bead mill production
 20 min Dissolver
 more than 24hrs. Bead mill
 Total energy cost
 Cleaning time
ED pigments
Dissolver production
 30 min Dissolver only
 No bead mill
 6% Total energy cost compare to standard
 13% Cleaning time compare to standard
[Pigment ] during milling: 36%

ED Pigments: Sustainability / Carbon Footprint
Higher eco-efficiency in paint production:
– Lower energy consumption
No bead milling process necessary (most energy
consuming step in paint production)
Valid for whole value chain (ED effect generated
in pigment synthesis without additional energy
consumption)
– Waste water reduction
Less cleaning efforts
