Thermoplastics
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-MAX D 4220 is recommended for producing liquid color masterbatches with inorganic, organic and carbon black pigments, which are used to color thermoplastics (PE, PP, PET). In doing so, it significantly reduces the viscosity, therefore enabling greater pigmentation.
Recommended Levels
Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon solids:
Inorganic pigments: 5 %
Titanium dioxides: 5 %
Organic pigments: 10-25 %
Carbon blacks: 5-15 %
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
For the production of liquid color masterbatches, BYK-MAX D 4220 is slowly added to the carrier system whilst stirring. Only add the pigments once the additive has been uniformly distributed.
