THE APPROACH

Move from pigment surface chemistry to formulation decisions.

Self-dispersed colorants are designed so hydrophilic functional groups are grafted onto pigment-particle surfaces—giving AIC a differentiated route to fine particle control, vivid colour and stable water-based inkjet formulation.
