Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of pigment(s) and/or filler(s) containing, as an additive, a saccharide composition containing at least 30% of hydrogentated monosaccharide(s) and/or disaccharide(s). The saccharide composition contains at least 75% of such saccharides, in particular sorbitol, mannitol and/or maltitol. The optimum introduction rate is somewhere between 1 and 3%, in dry weight in relation to the dry weight of pigment(s) and filler(s) of the dispersion. The dispersion according to the invention presents a Brookfield viscosity (20° C., 20 rpm) of between 100 and 4000 mPa.s and a viscosity instability index lower than 35%. The dispersion according to the invention can present a very high level of solid matter, for example from 72 to 80% and be used advantageously in numerous industries such as those connected with paper, paint and varnishes, inks, adhesives, detergents, textile materials and leathers, etc.
