DISPERBYK® 2080 is a wetting and dispersing additive designed to stabilize titanium dioxide, inorganic pigments, and fillers in aqueous coating systems. It does not negatively impact water, corrosion, or stain resistance. It is particularly recommended for use in aqueous anti-corrosive primers, direct-to-metal systems, and aqueous wood and furniture coatings.

Special Features and Benefits

DISPERBYK® 2080 uses electrosteric stabilization to deflocculate the pigments. The deflocculating property of the additive results in increased gloss and a reduced millbase viscosity. As a result of its hydrophobic nature, the additive minimizes water absorption in the entire coating system, which has a positive effect on the corrosion and stain resistance. DISPERBYK® 2080 is particularly suitable for use in aqueous anti-corrosive primers and direct-to-metal systems in which it positively influences the wet and dry adhesion. It is also recommended for aqueous wood and furniture coatings.

Recommended Levels
Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment:
Fillers and anti-corrosive pigments: 3-6%
Inorganic pigments: 10-27%
Titanium dioxides: 3-6%
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 the addition of pigments. Simply pre-mix the water and additive. In all cases, only add the pigments when the additive has been thoroughly distributed.
