Dispersing is the most energy consuming and least energy
efficient step in the whole coatings production process. With
the rising cost of energy and raw materials and growing
awareness to reduce the dependency on mineral oil, energy
efficient pigment dispersion becomes increasingly important.
Various dispersing techniques will be compared with actual
cases. A novel LPN Homogeniser production programme, which works
with fluid dynamic methods without grinding balls will be
introduced. Such programme can reduce the energy consumption of
more than 80% while maintaining desired product quality level. |
