Dispersion systems

Dispersion systems in coating technology represent an important class of water-based coatings. These coatings consist of a dispersion of solid plastic particles or polymers in an aqueous phase. Dispersion systems have become a popular choice in various applications due to their environmental friendliness, low emissions and ease of use.

The basic principle of dispersion systems is based on the fine distribution of polymer particles in water. These polymer particles can consist of different plastics such as acrylates, styrenes or other water-dispersible polymers. The fine distribution is achieved by suitable dispersing agents that keep the particles stable in the aqueous phase.

The application of dispersion systems extends across various areas, including the production of wall paints, coatings for wooden surfaces, coatings for plastics and textiles. Dispersion technology enables easy processing, good wetting properties and fast drying of the coatings.

The advantages of dispersion systems lie not only in their environmental friendliness, but also in their versatility and adaptability. They can easily be modified with various additives to improve specific properties such as adhesion, scratch resistance or gloss. Overall, dispersion systems have established themselves as a forward-looking solution in coating technology that meets the increasing demands for environmentally friendly and high-performance coatings.
