Dispersing agents
This patent describes a dispersion of hydrophobic particles in an aqueous medium containing a polymeric dispersing agent, wherein the viscosity of the dispersion is reduced by the presence of a thinning amount of dispersing agent and the dispersing agent is a water-soluble polymer comprising, by weight: (a) 30-99% of an ionic water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer, which is free of polyalkylene oxide chains and of other substituents creating side chains of longer than 6 atoms chain length, and (b) 1-70% of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer that carries a pendant group-B/sub n/R wherein B is ethyleneoxy, n is an integer of at least 5, and R is a hydrocarbyl group containing 8 to 30 carbon atoms, the polymer having a molecular weight in the range 500-100000.
