Dispersants in water treatment are chemicals used to break down and disperse contaminants, preventing clumping and sedimentation. They enhance the efficiency of filtration and separation processes by keeping particles suspended in water. Commonly used in industrial and municipal water systems, they help maintain cleaner and more stable water quality.

Size: Varies based on application; typically liquid form with particle sizes ranging from nanometers to micrometers.

Grade: Industrial, pharmaceutical, or food-grade depending on use.

Viscosity: Ranges from low (water-like) to high (syrup-like) depending on formulation.

Buoyancy: Generally neutral in water; may vary with specific chemical composition.

Material: Synthetic polymers, surfactants, or natural compounds like polysaccharides.

Solubility: Water-soluble or oil-dispersible based on type.

pH Range: Typically 5-10, adjusted for compatibility.

Density: 1.0-1.2 g/cm³ for most aqueous formulations.

Thermal Stability: Stable up to 50-80°C; some high-temperature variants available.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to hydrolysis and oxidation in standard conditions.
