Stabilisation of Titania Pigment Slurries During Processing

该项目旨在提高钛白粉浆料在生产过程中的稳定性。目前Tiwest使用的聚磷酸盐分散剂在加工条件下不稳定。因此，将研究定制的、稳健的分散剂，以在加工过程中提供更好的颜料稳定性。对分散剂与二氧化钛颜料表面的相互作用以及颜料的后续稳定性的增强理解将允许加工的进步以及因此改进的最终产品。通过提高产品性能，市场份额的潜在增长超过5000万美元。

This project aims to improve the stabilisation properties of titania pigment slurries during production. Current polyphosphate dispersants used by Tiwest are unstable under processing conditions. Tailored, robust dispersing reagents will therefore be investigated in order to provide improved stabilisation of pigments during processing. Enhanced understanding of the dispersing reagents interaction with the titania pigment surface and the subsequent stability of the pigment will allow advances in processing and consequently improved final products. The potential growth in market share, by improved product performance, is in excess of $50M pa.
