Recommended Levels
Inorganic Pigment 10-15 % Titanium Dioxides 5-6 % Organic Pigments 30-90 % Carbon Blacks 70-140 % Special Features and Benefits
- The additive deflocculates the pigments and stabilizes them by means of steric hindrance.
- It provides equal electrical charge to the pigment particles.
- The resulting repulsion and the steric stabilization prevent a possible co-flocculation, which leads to flood and float-free color in pigment mixtures.
- The deflocculating properties of the additive increase gloss, color strengh, transparency, and hiding power and reduce the viscosity of the millbase.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for radiation-curable industrial coatings, can coatings and coil coatings.Incorporation and Processing Instructions
For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
The resin and solvent components of the millbase are pre-mixed and then the additive is slowly incorporated while stirring continuously. Do not add the pigments until the additive has been fully distributed.- Printing Inks
Recommended Levels
Titanium Dioxides 2.5 - 5 % Organic pigments, Carbon blacks 10 - 20 % Recommended Use
- The additive is particularly recommended for UV-curable flexo and offset printing inks.
- It increases gloss and transparency. DISPERBYK-168 reduces the dispersion time, lowers viscosity and increases color strength.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions

while stirring continuously. Do not add the pigments until the additive has been fully distributed.- Adhesives
Titanium Dioxides 2.5-5 % Organic Pigments, Carbon Blacks 10-20 % Special Features and Benefits
- The additive deflocculates the pigments and stabilizes them by means of steric hindrance, which leads to a reduction in viscosity and higher transparency.
- DISPERBYK-168 reduces the dispersion time.
Recommended Use
DISPERBYK-168 is recommended for stabilizing titanium dioxide, organic pigments and carbon blacks in radiation-curable adhesive systems.Incorporation and Processing Instructions
- For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
- The resin and solvent components of the millbase are pre-mixed and then the additive is slowly incorporated while stirring continuously.
- Do not add the pigments until the additive has been fully distributed.
