Flocculation — which factors influence it? — Part I

Abstract

“Flocculation” is a generally unloved characteristic of pigmented systems. The question in the title, however, presumes that one knows what flocculation is. But if one asks various competent people: “What is flocculation?”, then one receives not only similar replies, but frequently also different descriptions and definitions with which the persons asked generally characterise their specific problem‐areas. This situation shows that flocculation is an expression with various meanings describing both causes and effects in differing forms. This fact, however, involves various risks and indeed difficulties in communication.
