- Function
For dispersant, the key properties are wetting ,dispersing and stabilization of solid particles, such as pigments, into the liquid .After the initial wetting of the pigment surface, the particle agglomerates formed by pigment production processes, are further broken down by mechanical milling. The dispersant adsorbs onto the freshly created surface forming a stabilizing polymer layer. This electrostatic stabilization helps to create energy barrier around each particle and prevents the natural tendency of the particle re-agglomerates due to Vander Waals forces. The development of this low molecular weight polymeric dispersant Indofil HSD 45 is driven by the need to improve the desirable characteristics of paint formulation. Indofil HSD 45 will offer paint industry the opportunity to evaluate some latest development.
- Advantages
Economical - as low level of addition required, being a 45% solid product; Very good stability of the manufactured products, in particular excellent viscosity stability; Improves the dispersion process and reduces defoamer requirements; High efficiency for dispersion of mineral pigments and extenders, and consequently low grinding time required; Liquid product ready to use, easy to handle

- Recommended Dosage
0.4 – 1.0% Indofil HSD 45 (based on pigment weight)
- Product Information
Being a high solid dispersant it reduces formulator dosage and offers competitive advantage over other dispersants by further minimizing water transportation costs. Indofil HSD 45 is an ideal dispersant for a wide range of water-borne Coatings. It is versatile pigment dispersant for High PVC, Medium PVC, and Low PVC paint formulations and especially suitable for the dispersion of inorganic pigments.
- Shelf Life Storage
Storage: Indofil HSD 45 should be stored in tightly closed containers under shade. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Shelf Life: 12 months from the date of Manufacturing.
