DISPERBYK-185

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne and aqueous industrial coatings as well as architectural coatings. Particularly suitable for glycol-free universal pastes. The additive deflocculates pigments by steric stabilisation. The small particle size of the deflocculated pigments can achieve high levels of gloss and improved colour strength. Transparency and hiding power also increase and viscosity is reduced. This also improves leveling and enables higher pigmentation levels. DISPERBYK-185 is solvent-free and is particularly suitable for the manufacture of alkylphenol-ethoxylate-free and solvent-free universal colourants used in aqueous, solvent-borne and solvent-free coatings.
