D i s p e r s i o n Procedure:
Dispersions a r e g e n e r a l l y made i n t h r e e steps: pre-mix.
g r i n d i n g , f i n i s h i n g . The purpose and procedure i n v o l v e d i n each
s t e p i s as f o l l o w s :
Step 1. Premix:
I n t h i s step, pigment agglomerates a r e broken down i n t o
p a r t i c l e s small enough t o go through t h e equipment used i n
Step 2 . To do t h i s , t h e polymer s o l u t i o n , pigment and water
a r e mixed t o g e t h e r under h i g h shear c o n d i t i o n s . T h i s can be
accomplished u s i n g a Cowles o r Scholds type mixer. A Kady m i l l
can a l s o be used.
Step 2 . G r i n d i n g :
Here, t h e p a r t i c l e s i z e i s f u r t h e r reduced f o r more complete
d i s p e r s i o n . T h i s can be accomplished i n a g r i n d i n g m i l l , u s i n g a
very f i n e g r i n d i n g medium, g e n e r a l l y l e s s than 2mm i n p a r t i c l e
s i z e . E i t h e r a h o r i z o n t a l o r v e r t i c a l m i l l can be used, however
BFGoodrich has achieved b e t t e r r e s u l t s using h o r i z o n t a l m i l l s .
The g r i n d i n g process should be run " c o n t a i n e r t o c o n t a i n e r " ,

meaning t h a t i t should n o t be d i r e c t l y r e c i r c u l a t e d through t h e
m i l l . T h i s c o n f i g u r a t i o n assures t h a t t h e product r e c e i v e s u n i -
form m i l l i n g . The throughput r a t e used w i l l v a r y depending on t h e
q u a l i t y o f t h e d i s p e r s i o n being made. For h i g h e s t g l o s s d i s p e r -
s i o n s smaller p a r t i c l e s a r e r e q u i r e d and t h e throughput should
be kept very low t o maximize g r i n d i n g .
Several companies produce shot m i l l s s u i t a b l e f o r pigment

g r i n d i n g . BFGoodrich has seen successful g r i n d i n g u s i n g equip-
ment from Buhler, Netzch. D r a i s , and Scholds.
Step 3. F i n i s h i n g :
The f i n i s h i n g s t e p i s simply an a d d i t i o n a l pass through t h e
grinding m i l l t o further d i s p e r s e t h e pigment. This pass can be
made u s i n g t h e same shot o r , t o g i v e a g l o s s i e r appearance,
f i n i s h i n g can be through extremely f i n e shot.

Coalesced Joncrvl 537
Joncryl 537 is an acrylic emulsion that has been specifically

designed for its alkali resistance properties. It is a hard
polymer that needs to be coalesced (softened) in order to maxi-
mize its resistance and film forming properties.
