BYK® -P 105

Lower molecular weight unsaturated polycarboxylic acid polymer. Acts as wetting and dispersing agents. It leads to a controlled flocculation of pigments and bridges are formed between individual pigment particles causing three-dimensional structures to develop. The controlled flocculation of pigments prevents flooding, floating, settling, and sagging of pigments. Has limited compatibility with mineral spirits and adhesives diluted with mineral spirits. It shows a high efficiency with acrylate adhesives to prevent settling of fillers. BYK® -P 105 is recommended for solvent-free adhesives systems and suitable for solvent-borne, water-reducible adhesive systems. Its recommended levels are 2 - 5% inorganic pigments, 5 - 10% organic pigments, 0.5 - 1.5% titanium dioxide.
