BYK-P 104 S

BYK P 104 S is a controlled flocculating wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne, medium-polarity to high-polarity coatings to prevent the flooding/floating of titanium dioxide in combination with colored pigments. It contains silicone to improve flooding/floating behavior. BYK P 104 S provides a targeted, controlled flocculation of the pigments. Bridges are built between the individual pigment particles, thereby creating three-dimensional networks. This controlled flocculation of the pigments primarily prevents flooding and floating along with settling and sagging. BYK P 104 S is particularly suited for medium-polarity to high-polarity coating systems to prevent the flooding and floating of titanium dioxide in combination with colored pigments. It improves anticorrosive properties when used in protective primers and prevents formation of Bénard cells, improving surface slip, leveling, and orientation of matting agents and aluminum pigments.
