Inorganic Pigments 2 - 7% Organic Pigments 15 - 30% Carbon Blacks 35 - 70% Special Features and Benefits
- DISPERBYK-2200 is characterized by its highly effective stabilization, particularly of phthalocyanine pigments and carbon blacks in solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems.
- In combination with phthalocyanine pigments, the use of DISPERBYK-2200 minimizes thixotropy whilst generating Newtonian flow behavior.
- It also significantly improves both color strength and transparency, and increases gloss whilst minimizing haze.
- Furthermore, due to its effective reduction in viscosity, DISPERBYK-2200 enables an increase in the pigment content of organic pigments in pigment concentrates.
- When stabilizing carbon blacks, DISPERBYK-2200 creates a considerably greater level of jetness.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
DISPERBYK-2200 can be used in different ways in the dispersing process.
Depending on the chosen dispersing parameters (pigment type, pigment content, additive dosage), DISPERBYK-2200 can be used without first being dissolved in organic solvents or in a grinding resin.
The wetting and dispersing additive as well as the pigments are added to the millbase.
The dispersing process can then be started without the prior homogenization of the additive in the millbase.
Due to the prevailing temperatures in the dispersing process, DISPERBYK-2200 dissolves in the millbase within just a few minutes.
In cases where the chosen dispersing parameters do not permit the direct use of DISPERBYK-2200 without first dissolving it, it is recommended that the additive is used by dissolving it in a grinding resin.
For this purpose, the grinding resin and/or additional solvents are pre-mixed with the additive whilst stirring, and homogeneously distributed before the pigment is added.
The solubility of DISPERBYK-2200 is significantly dependent on the type of organic solvent or solvent blend that is being used.
This is why concentrated solutions of DISPERBYK-2200 in organic solvents (> 40% mass portion) should be used immediately after their manufacture.
- Powder Coatings
Recommended Levels
0.5-2% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation.
Special Features and Benefits
- On account of the delivery form, DISPERBYK-2200 is suitable for use in powder coatings.
- It is especially recommended for an optimized dispersion of carbon black pigments.
- The optical properties of the coating (DOI = distinctness of image) are improved.
- In addition, DISPERBYK-2200 brings about an improved degassing of powder coatings.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
- The additive is mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other raw materials in a high-speed mixer and then extruded.
- Good dispersion of the additive by the extruder promotes gloss and leveling of the powder coating and prevents the formation of craters, fish eyes, and seeds.
Special Note
The additive should always be used in combination with a standard leveling additive.- Printing Inks
Recommended Levels
Surface Printing Inks 4-10 % Lamination Inks 4-6 % Special Features and Benefits
- DISPERBYK-2200 is particularly recommended for the manufacture of non-polar to medium-polarity solvent-borne pigment concentrates and printing inks.
- It improves the color strength and transparency of the grinds.
- The viscosity of the concentrate and printing inks is reduced.
Recommended Use
DISPERBYK-2200 is recommended for use in polyurethane and vinyl systems, in toluene gravure inks and laminating inks.Incorporation and Processing Instructions

- Inkjet applications
Recommended Levels
Organic Pigments 20-70 % Carbon Blacks 30-90 % Special Features and Benefits
- DISPERBYK-2200 is recommended for use in both solvent-borne drop-on-demand and also in continuous inkjet applications.
- Thanks to its outstanding deflocculation, DISPERBYK-2200 significantly improves pigment wetting and optical properties (color strength, transparency, gloss, haze).
- The viscosity both of the pigment concentrate as well as the final inkjet inks is reduced and thixotropic flow behavior prevented.
- In addition, it can achieve long-term stability without changing viscosity.
- The excellent deflocculating properties result in a very fine and close particle size distribution, whereby the filtration times of the inkjet inks are considerably reduced.
