DISPERBYK-180

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free and aqueous coating systems, printing inks and adhesives for stabilising inorganic pigments, in particular titanium dioxide. The additive deflocculates pigments by means of 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 powder also increase and viscosity is reduced. In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and higher pigment loading is possible The additive is recommended for all aqueous, solvent-borne and solvent-free systems to stabilise inorganic pigments, specifically titanium dioxide.
