Dispersing Lake EasyMix Colors in LipidSoft™ Disperse

Here is information regarding dispersing Lake EasyMix colors in LipidSoft™ Disperse:

1. Maximum Dispersion Percentage:

   • LipidSoft™ Disperse is specifically designed as a pigment disperser and binder, capable of dissolving pigments effectively.
   • While the typical usage rate of Lake EasyMix colors in a final product is 0.1-9%, LipidSoft™ Disperse itself can be used at up to 100% in a formula, indicating its strong capacity to carry pigments.
   • Based on its function and properties, dispersing Lake EasyMix powder at 20-30% w/w in LipidSoft™ Disperse to create a concentrated dispersion is feasible and within its intended use.

2. Mixing Multiple Colors:

   • Lake EasyMix colors are designed for easy dispersion and can often be mixed into formulations with simple stirring.
   • However, when blending multiple Lake EasyMix colors to create a new shade, it is a good practice to mix the dry color powders together thoroughly before adding them to the LipidSoft™ Disperse.
   • Mixing the dry powders first helps ensure a uniform color blend in your final dispersion. While grinding in a mortar can help break up agglomerates and ensure homogeneity, the EasyMix type is formulated to disperse easily, so thorough stirring of the dry powders might be sufficient before adding the LipidSoft™ Disperse.

LipidSoft™ Disperse is an excellent choice for dispersing pigments like Lake EasyMix colors due to its high pigment solubility.
