»With the use of ED pigments, not only is the process simplified, but the ecological efficiency and flexibility in production are also improved.«

How ED Pigments optimize the
manufacturing process

ED pigments are surface modified organic pigments. The dispersing additive on the ED pigment is incorporated during the manufacturing. These additives, highly efficient and widely compatible, facilitate wetting and separation of pigment particles during the dispersion process. Furthermore, the optimum amount of additive is present on each ED pigment surface to achieve the necessary dispersion properties. As a result, ED pigments can be dispersed with a high-speed dissolver, eliminating the need for the traditional bead-milling step. By simplifying the dispersion step, ED pigments can significantly improve the eco-footprint in paint manufacture. The processing time is shortened leading to increased production capacity, while simultaneously realizing savings in electricity consumption and generation of waste water.
