- Key Features
- DISPERBYK-2118 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-2118 is recommended for use in pigment concentrates and solvent-borne printing inks, particularly for medium-polarity to non-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).

- 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.
