Surfactant, ceramics Viscosity

Ceramic Dispersions. Ceramic is a nonmetallic inorganic material. Ceramic dispersions are the starting material for many applications. The use of detergents or surfactants enhances the wetting ability of the binder onto the ceramic particles and aids in the dispersion of ceramic powders in liquids. As dispersants, they reduce bulk viscosity of high-solid slurries and maintain stabUity in finely divided particle dispersions. Bi-block surfactants help agglomeration of the ceramic particles. In wastewater treatment, detergents are used in ceramic dispersions to reduce the amount of flocculents.
