Flooding
Vertical pigment separation = flooding
Uniform color in surface
Color is different underneath the surface

Floating
Bnard cells
Horizontal pigment separation= floating
due to
different degrees of flocculation
Eddy currents during drying
4/30/2012, Page 53, Forename Surname, Company or Department, Title of the Presentation
Why is there Flooding and Floating?
Flocculation increases (secondary) particle size (1-3 magnitudes) Particles are segregated by currents during film formation (big particles move with the currents) A basic understanding of pigment dispersion, stabilization and flocculation phenomena is needed to solve the problem
