DRY COLOUR SYSTEMS AND METHODS AND EASILY DISPERSIBLE FORMULATIONS FOR USE IN SUCH SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A dry pigment paint system includes dry pigment doses that may be used alone or combined with other dry pigment doses to provide a desired colour when dispersed in a paint base. The system may use a plurality of dry pigment formulations, with each dry pigment formulation consisting of one or more dry pigments, generally a plurality of dry pigments. Each dry pigment dose may include a single dry pigment formulation. Each does may be a tablet, capsule or sachet. Various dose forms and dispensing systems are disclosed. Formulations of easily dispersible (ED) pigments comprising a combination of a carboxylic acid polymer and a non-ionic alkoxylated surfactant are also disclosed. The combination is used in the formulation of a plurality of pigments. The formulations are suitable for mixing with a base medium at the point-of-sale (PoS) or by the end user.
