Abstract
Universal colorants used for point-of-sale tinting or dealer tinting system usually have titanium dioxide dispersion as one of the essential colorants to adjust “chroma” of the shade. It is imperative that this colorant exhibits optimum performance in water-based and solvent-based products. The paper focuses on the effect of varying molecular weight of polycarboxylate-based surfactants on the properties of the aqueous dispersion.
