Abstract

An aqueous, non-settling, universal pearlescent, or nacreous pigment dispersion is provided for use in dispensing machines for the custom mixing in retail stores and trade sales of alkyd or solvent-thinned and water-based surface coatings. The non-settling pearlescent pigment dispersion employs a synthetic silicate, sodium lithium magnesium silicate, as the suspending agent. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the dispersion which incorporates one or more carriers, humectants, surfactants and other optional conventional additives.
