The invention discloses a high-
moisture-retention VOC-free
iron oxide color paste and a preparation method thereof. The high-
moisture-retention VOC-free
iron oxide color paste is composed of a
dissolution-assisting
moisture-retaining agent, a pH adjusting agent, a novel foam-inhibiting defoaming agent, a
wetting dispersant, an aqueous rheological auxiliary agent, an
iron oxide pigment and deionized water. The preparation method comprises: 1) adding the
dissolution-assisting moisture-retaining agent, the pH adjusting agent, the novel foam-inhibiting defoaming agent and the
wetting dispersant into deionized water and mixing uniformly; 2) slowly adding iron
oxide pigment and performing high-speed dispersion, so as to form uniform paste dispersion under high-speed stirring state; 3) sending the paste into a
ball mill by a pump and performing
grinding dispersion for 2-5 times until the
fineness of the paste dispersion is less than 2 mu m; and 4) adding the aqueous rheological auxiliary agent into the grinded paste dispersion, and adjusting the
viscosity scope at 70-85 KU, so as to obtain the iron
oxide ultrafine aqueous color paste dispersion. The high-moisture-retention VOC-free iron
oxide color paste is easily controllable in quality, good in
moisture retention performance, high in stability and small in environmental
pollution.
