Core summary · the fate of ultrafine powder switches
The same batch of ultrafine powder: an excess of traditional lubricating coating additives → caking; a low R900 dosage → dispersed and activated. Switch to compare.
Precise ratio · high temperature and pressure · narrow distribution
R900 is a high-molecular aqueous solution additive dedicated to dispersing ultrafine powders. Produced with precise ratios under high temperature and pressure, it has an excellent molecular weight and a fairly narrow molecular-weight distribution, and disperses all kinds of ultrafine powders outstandingly.
The finer, the more it agglomerates · overdose and it cakes
When producing ultrafine calcium carbonate, talc or organic pigment powder, the finer the powder, the more severe the agglomeration; traditional stearic acid or polyethylene wax mainly lubricates — effective on coarse powder, but often unable to disperse ultrafine powder well, and the finer the powder the more dispersant it needs, so overdosing traditional additives very easily causes production caking.
Low dosage · agglomeration and caking both solved
R900 was developed exactly for this: a low dosage that perfectly solves this industry problem — combining dispersion with coating and grinding aid, it thoroughly solves ultrafine powder agglomeration/caking.
Physical and chemical specification (TDS)
Typical factory values; a COA test report accompanies every batch.
Dual mechanism · from wet milling to the warm kiln
Dispersion + coating activation: grinding aid in the slurry, coating film in the kiln heat — one process flow does it all.
Added in milling · dispersion and grinding aid
Added to milling processes such as ground calcium carbonate slurry, R900 provides an excellent dispersion and grinding-aid effect.
Coating agent melts · wrapping treatment
When the slurry dries and meets high temperature, the coating agent melts and wets, lubricates and wraps the powder.
Dispersion activation · mineral powder granulation
Achieving the excellent effect of dispersion activation, or usable directly for granulating inorganic filler mineral powder.

01Product positioning
Name and positioning. The data page is titled 'Composite-type dispersant R900'; the product catalog line records 'R900: rubber and plastics hyperdispersant, calcium carbonate, talc powder, kaolin filled masterbatch, etc.'. Main component 'polyolefin ether', mechanism field 'chemical dispersion'. (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
Overview (original text quoted): 'R900 is a dispersant developed by our company specifically for ultrafine powders. It is a polymer aqueous solution produced under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions using precise proportions. It has excellent molecular weight and a quite narrow molecular weight distribution, and has a very good dispersing effect on powders.' (Data source: product handbook)
Tier relationship. The series section records: 'R900 hyperdispersant is a medium-to-high-grade product made according to market demand for ultrafine powders, mainly formed by high-temperature and high-pressure copolymerization of polyolefin ether monomers, and its dispersion performance and lubricating effect are both lower than those of R1800-S.' — that is, compared with the flagship three models (R1800 series), it belongs to a different tier. (Data source: product handbook)
Problem to be solved (original text quoted): 'R900 dispersant is a water-soluble high-efficiency dispersant; it has low dosage and good effects on various powders. For example, when producing ultrafine calcium carbonate or talc powder, organic pigment powder, and other powders, often the finer the powder, the more prone it is to agglomeration, seriously affecting product quality. ... The reason is that the finer the powder, the more easily it agglomerates, and the finer the powder, the higher the dosage of dispersant that needs to be added. However, the higher the dosage of dispersant added, the more easily it cakes during production. For this reason, our company specifically developed R900 to solve this problem.' (Data source: product handbook)
- Composite composition: composed of two major parts, a dispersant and a coating agent; when the slurry is dried and encounters high temperature, the coating agent melts to wet, lubricate, and encapsulate the powder, achieving a dispersion activation effect; or it is used directly for granulation of inorganic filler mineral powder.
- Applicable powders: titanium dioxide, lithopone, heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, talc powder, kaolin, and other common inorganic pigments; it also has considerable dispersing effect on phthalocyanine-based organic pigments.
- Dispersing and grinding aid: the data records that 'in water-milled calcium carbonate, adding R900 dispersant during slurry grinding has a dispersing and grinding-aid effect'.
- This grade is a historically listed grade (Discontinued), and the data is retained; this page is compiled from the historical data as-is.
02Formulation system & mechanism of action
Composition and form. The handbook's 'Main component' records 'polyolefin ether'; the overview records it as a polymer aqueous solution produced under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. The specific polymerization structure and formulation are not provided in the data and are not inferred. (Data source: product handbook)
Composite pathway. The data records that R900 is 'composed of two major parts, a dispersant and a coating agent': the dispersant is responsible for dispersing the ultrafine powder, and the coating agent melts when the slurry is dried and encounters high temperature, wetting, lubricating, and encapsulating the powder, thereby achieving dispersion activation. (Data source: product handbook)
Effect chain. It provides a solution to the field contradiction between agglomeration of ultrafine powders and 'the higher the dosage, the more prone to caking'; in addition to dispersion, it also serves as a grinding aid (in the water-milled calcium carbonate scenario) and for coating activation. (Data source: product handbook)
