SHMP is used as a sequestrant and has applications within a wide variety of industries, including as a food additive in which it is used under the E number E452i. Sodium carbonate is sometimes added to SHMP to raise the pH to 8.0-8.6, which produces a number of SHMP products used for water softening and detergents. Also used as a dispersing agent to break down clay and other soil types.

CALGON N is a dispersing agent for emulsion paints, plasters and adhesives. This white powder is a slightly alkaline sodium polyphosphate of medium chain length. It improves the storage stability when applied in combination with polyacrylates like LOPON® 890, and due to its high dispersing effectivity, optimal particle size is rapidly achieved. This product is suitable as a dispersing agent for waterborne paints, slows down sedimentation, reduces water hardness and offers a good binding capacity with regard to calcium and heavy metal ions. It deflocculates pigments and fillers in aqueous suspensions. Thereby, high solid contents of emulsion paints with low viscosity can be achieved.

CALGON® and LOPON® Range as Dispersing Agents

Usually, the first step in the production of paints based on aqueous polymer dispersions involves the preparation of an aqueous mill base and hence a dispersing process. The tasks of this process are to wet, to physically separate and, finally, to stabilize the individual primary pigment particles in the suspending medium, in this case water. The pigment particles are thereafter present in a homogeneously dispersed from and must not be allowed to re-agglomerate. Generally, the quality of the dispersing process has a direct bearing on the optical and rheological properties of the paint, as well as those properties that affect the paint’s storage stability.
Dispersing agents are used to assist the mechanical process of dispersing solid, insoluble pigments in water. These dispersing agents are mostly polymeric substances which dissociate into ions in aqueous media. The only major factors governing the efficacy of a dispersing agent are the polyanions formed in this process. The part played by the counter-cations is relatively minor.
Owing to the polar nature of the pigment and filler particles (surface-linked hydroxyl groups, adsorbed water molecules), the polyanions are adsorbed on the surface of the solids. The total charge of the surface becomes anionic, thereby resulting in electrostatic stabilization. When polymers with higher molecular weights are used, steric stabilization occurs as well. This mechanism encourages the formation of discrete particles, which repel one another because of their uniform charge. The physical phenomena in the microscopic range manifest themselves macroscopically through a reduction in the viscosity of the suspension. This property is used to determine the quantity of dispersing agents needed in order to stabilize the system.

The dispersing agents most commonly used are polyphosphates and polyacrylates. Please contact us for formulation suggestions and further information.
CALGON®-Polyphosphates
By heating certain orthophosphates to temperatures above 500 °C in a melting furnace, linearly linked structures – so-called polyphosphates – are formed by a condensation reaction.
