DISPERBYK-2008

Wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-free UV coatings and high-solid systems to improve matting using silica-based matting agents. DISPERBYK-2008 was specifically developed as a wetting and dispersing additive for silica-based matting agents which are used in solvent-free UV coatings and high-solid systems. It is typically used in wood and furniture coatings and also industrial coatings. DISPERBYK-2008 is based on controlled polymerisation technology (CPT). Due to its basic pigment-affinic groups, it is compatible with most silica-based matting agents and works on matting agents with or without surface treatment. Even at a low dosage, the dispersion and stability of the matting agent is considerably improved. It considerably reduces the viscosity and has a very good orientation of the matting agent. DISPERBYK-2008 is highly compatible with many polymers and monomers and enables matt surfaces to be produced even when based on standard silicas.
