<p>The present invention is directed to a polyester carboxylate polymeric pigment dispersant to be used as a grind resin to incorporate inorganic pigment into a pigment dispersion for a coating composition. The polymeric pigment dispersant is the reaction product of pentaerythritol, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, glycidylneodecanoate, and dimethylethanolamine. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing the polymeric pigment dispersant. In this method, the pentaerythritol and the hexahydrophthalic anhydride are polymerized to form an intermediate compound. Next, an epoxy group of the glycidylneodecanoate reacts with the intermediate compound, and then the dimethylethanolamine neutralizes the intermediate compound to form the completed polymeric pigment dispersant. The polymeric pigment dispersant is utilized for efficient wetting and grinding of the pigment.</p> |
