Special Features and Benefits
DISPERBYK® 2117 deflocculates pigments and stabilizes them by means of steric hindrance. The deflocculating property of the additive results in increased gloss, color intensity, transparency or hiding power and a reduced mill base viscosity. DISPERBYK® 2117 is recommended for use in pigment concentrates and solvent-borne printing inks, particularly for medium-polarity to polar flexographic and gravure printing inks based on alcohol-soluble cellulose nitrates. Main use is to disperse carbon blacks and phthalocyanine pigments (blue and green).Recommended Levels
Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment:
Inorganic pigments: 5-10%
Titanium dioxides: 1-5%
Organic pigments: 20-40%
Carbon blacks: 10-75%
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
Wetting and dispersion additives should generally be added to the millbase. Only in this way can they be fully effective. In the case of binder-free grinds, the solvent components of the millbase are pre-mixed with the additive whilst stirring and before the pigment is added. If the grinds contain binder, the binder, solvent, and additive should be homogenized prior to adding the pigment.
