Deflocculant / Dispersant (ORM)

Kimia Ceram Zarin's Deflocculants (Dispersants), marketed under the ORM trade name, are engineered to optimize ceramic slurry properties. These products improve the production process by reducing viscosity and enhancing rheological properties while reducing water consumption. Available in organic (dosage 0.01–0.09%) and inorganic (dosage 0.1–1.5%) types including sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), and polycarboxylate types.

Specialty ceramic slurries

Alumina slurry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a deflocculant and a flocculant?

A deflocculant (dispersant) disperses particles and reduces viscosity, while a flocculant binds particles together and accelerates sedimentation.

What type of dispersant is suitable for alumina slurry?

Polycarboxylate-based dispersants are generally recommended for alumina slurries. The exact selection depends on the alumina type and process conditions.
