BYK-SYNERGIST 2100

Pigment synergist for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems. Improves the effectiveness of polymeric wetting and dispersing additives when stabilising phthalocyanine blue and green, organic violet pigments and carbon blacks. The synergist enables high-molecular weight wetting and dispersing additives to be more efficiently adsorbed on the surface of phthalocyanine blue and phthalocyanine green, organic violet pigments and carbon blacks; thereby increasing the effectiveness of the wetting and dispersing additives. Stabilisation of the pigments is improved and higher pigment contents are possible as a result of a reduction in the viscosity. The synergist is always used in combination with high-molecular weight wetting and dispersing additives and is recommended for coatings and pigment concentrates.
