DISPERBYK-199

DISPERBYK-199 is a VOC-free wetting and dispersing additive that uses electrosteric stabilization to deflocculate pigments. As a result of the small particle size of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the color strength is improved. Transparency and hiding power are also increased and viscosity is reduced. In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and a higher pigment load is possible. DISPERBYK-199 represents an alternative to the polyelectrolyte-based and high molecular weight wetting and dispersing additives that are usually used in aqueous systems and is suitable for both inorganic and organic pigments. It is recommended for aqueous coatings and highly filled pigment concentrates. DISPERBYK-199 deflocculates fillers and pigments through electrosteric stabilization. In filled systems, the viscosity is considerably reduced, enabling easier processing or a higher filler loading.
