A suspension is when fine particulate solids, e.g. pigment and extenders are dispersed within a

to fonn agglomerates or aggregates. In some paints, especially gloss, the size of these
aggregates is a very important factor and so has to be checked. The aggregate size is known as
Degree of Dispersion of Fineness of Grind.
