Application Information

Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits

The additive deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. 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 also increase and viscosity is reduced. In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and a higher pigment load is possible. DISPERBYK-106 is odorless and solvent-free.
Recommended Use
The additive is particularly recommended for architectural coatings, industrial coatings, wood and furniture coatings as well as to stabilize pigment pastes. It can be universally used with binders of differing polarities (e.g. aromatic-free alkyd resins and aldehyde resins).
Recommended Levels
Amount of additive (as supplied) based on the pigment:
Inorganic pigments 5-15 %
Organic pigments 10-30 %
Transparent iron oxide pigments 10-20 %
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
