DISPERBYK-108

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne coatings and printing inks as well as pigment concentrates. The additive deflocculates pigments by steric stabilisation. As a result of the small particle sizes of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the colour strength is improved. Transparency and hiding power also increase and viscosity is reduced. In this way, leveling is also improved and higher pigment loading is possible. DISPERBYK-108 is a solvent-free version of DISPERBYK-107. It is therefore especially suited for the manufacture of non-floating high-solids and aromatic-free architectural coatings. It may also be used in industrial coatings, leather coatings and printing inks (for gravure, flexographic and screen printing). DISPERBYK-108 is also recommended for the manufacture of solvent-borne pigment concentrates in these areas.
