DISPERBYK® -180

DISPERBYK® -180 by BYK is an alkylolammonium salt of a copolymer with acidic groups. Acts as high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent. Provides equal electrical charge to pigments and thus avoids possible co-flocculation of pigments that are not equally charged. Due to the small particle sizes of the deflocculated pigments, high gloss is achieved and color strength is improved. Additionally, transparency and hiding power are increased. This product reduces viscosity, subsequently, leveling is improved and higher pigment loading is possible. DISPERBYK® -180 is used in solvent-borne and water-borne adhesives. Recommended levels are inorganic pigments 5-10% and titanium dioxide 1.5-2.5%.
