Paramus — Pigment Dispersion Stability Screen

Overview

Give an early read on pigment dispersion stability: flag flocculation, settling, and color drift, and check dispersant fit. The value is triage across pigment/dispersant/medium, not one lookup.

Guidance vs execution: dispersant-fit and stability estimates come from tested Paramus tools. Treat outputs as screening signals, not certified shelf stability.

When to Use

  • Selecting or checking a dispersant for a pigment/medium pair
  • Diagnosing settling, flooding/floating, or color drift risk early Do not use for: final color-matching (use color tools) or certified storage-stability claims.

Workflow

Pigment + dispersant + medium
  ↓ 1. Characterize pigment surface        → polarity / charge
  ↓ 2. Check dispersant fit                 → anchor + steric/electrostatic
  ↓ 3. Predict colloidal stability          → flocculation/settling risk
  ↓ 4. Flag color-drift pathways            → flooding/floating
  ↓ 5. Emit stability summary               → ranked risks + mitigations

Procedure

  1. Discover tools via search/get_schema ("dispersion", "stability", "surface").
  2. Characterize the pigment surface chemistry and polarity.
  3. Assess dispersant anchoring and stabilization mechanism fit.
  4. Predict flocculation/settling propensity in the medium.
  5. Flag color-drift pathways (flooding/floating) and mitigations.
  6. Emit a ranked stability summary with provenance.

Domain Judgment

  • Stability is system-specific — the same dispersant can fail in a different medium.
  • Consider both steric and electrostatic contributions, not one in isolation.
  • Rank by likelihood × visual impact so the user knows what to test first.

Fallbacks

  • Surface/stability tool unavailable → deliver a manual dispersant-selection checklist.
  • Endpoint unreachable → stop and report; do not fabricate stability verdicts.
