Dispersibility of Superfine Titanium Dioxide

The graph shows the viscosities of some dispersions of superfine titanium
dioxide-in-silicone fluid, prepared using various emulsifiers and mixed in a bead mill.
The dispersions prepared with KF-6106 and KP-578 had viscosities that were low initially and remained low over time; the powders were well-dispersed and the preparations proved to be highly stable.
KF-6115 is also able to prepare low viscosity, well-dispersed and stable dispersion;
suitable for the formulations containing various oils, especially silicone fluids,
hydrocarbon oils and UV absorvers.

Likewise, when superfine titanium dioxide/silicone fluid pastes were prepared with a roll mill, those made using KF-6106 and KP-578 had much lower viscosities than those made without a dispersant. KF-6106 and KP-578 make it easier to compound powders into cosmetic products.
KF-6115 shows equally good dispersing performance with KF-6106 in silicone fluid, and superior performance in dispersion medium containing oils other than silicone fluids.
