Abstract
The invention relates to the use of water-soluble homopolymers and/or copolymers of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with one or more acrylic, vinyl or allyl monomers as a dispersion and/or grinding-aid agent for mineral particles in aqueous suspension. The invention also concerns the said aqueous suspensions as well as their uses in the fields of paper, paint and plastics materials.
Claims43
A dispersion and/or grinding-aid agent for mineral fillers in aqueous suspension, the agent comprising homopolymers and/or copolymers of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with one or more acrylic, vinyl or allyl monomers, characterised in that the said homopolymers and/or copolymers of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with one or more acrylic, vinyl or allyl monomers are neutralised so that the molar percentage of the active acid sites of the non-neutralised polymer is between 10% and 30% and that of the active acid sites neutralised by at least one at least bifunctional neutralisation agent is between 10% and 80%, the remainder to 100% of the active acid sites of the polymer being neutralised by monofunctional neutralisation agents.
