BYKJET-9151 is a wetting and dispersing additive formulated for solvent-borne, aqueous, and UV-curing inkjet inks. It enhances the optical properties of the inks, including high gloss, transparency, and color strength. Additionally, it provides excellent pigment wetting and supports the production of inks with high transparency. This additive is also suitable for radiation-curable inks. Its environmental compliance includes certifications under CERCLA, TSCA (USA), and California Proposition 65, and it is clean air act certified. Available for use in various ink types such as solventborne, waterborne, radiation-curable, and hybrid inkjet inks.

Special Features and Benefits

The additive enhances pigment wetting and improves optical properties (color strength, gloss, haze and transparency) because of its outstanding pigment stabilization. It not only reduces the level of viscosity in pigment concentrates and final inkjet inks, but also prevents thixotropy.
The additive can achieve long-term storage stability without a viscosity shift. It provides equal electrical charge to the pigment particles, and thus prevents possible co-flocculation of particles that are not equally charged. Excellent pigment deflocculation leads to small particle size and narrow particle size distribution, thereby significantly reducing filtration time.
BYKJET-9151 may be used in all types of aqueous, solvent-borne and UV-curing inkjet inks. It can stabilize most
pigments commonly used in inkjet inks.

Recommended Use

  • Aqueous inkjet inks
  • Solvent-borne inkjet inks
  • UV-curing inkjet inks

Recommended Levels
% additive (as supplied) based upon

  • Organic pigments: 20-60%
  • Carbon black: 30-100%

The dosage levels are indicated for the purpose of orientation. Optimal dosage levels are determined through series of tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : Wetting and dispersing additives should be added to the millbase. This way, they can achieve their full effectiveness. Binder and solvents/water/reactive diluents are premixed with the additive while stirring, and should be homogenized before the pigment is added.
