Anionic Dispersants
Dispersant or Dispersing Agent is either a non-surface active polymer or a surface-active substance added to a suspension, usually a colloid, to improve the separation of particles and to prevent settling or clumping. The role of the dispersant is to make the dispersion process easier and more stable. Anionic Dispersants consists of non-polar, negatively charged, oleophilic hydrocarbon moieties and polar hydrophilic groups. The two groups are at both ends of the molecule, forming an asymmetric hydrophilic lipophilic molecular structure. It includes carboxylate, sulfate salt (R-O-SO3Na), sulfonate (R-SO3Na) and others. Anionic dispersant has good compatibility and is widely used.
