DISPERBYK-2060

Wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous and glycol-containing inorganic pigment concentrates to colour aqueous and solvent-borne architectural coatings. Also particularly suitable for effect pigment slurries. Using DISPERBYK-2060, aqueous and glycol-containing pigment concentrates can be produced. The additive is particularly suitable for inorganic pigments and carbon blacks. These pigment concentrates are used as binder-free universal colourants to colour aqueous and solvent-borne coating systems, predominantly for the architectural coatings field. The pigment concentrates based on DISPERBYK-2060 display a broad compatibility in the most diverse coating systems. These include aqueous alkyd resins or alkyd resin emulsions, acrylate, vinyl acetate, siloxane resin and polyurethane dispersions (blends, eg alkyd/polyurethane), and solvent-borne long oil alkyd coatings, even those that are aromatic-free and high solids, and thermoplastic acrylic resin systems (TPA). In addition to exceptional colour strength and excellent rub-out properties, pigment concentrates with DISPERBYK-2060 display no negative influence on the coating viscosity or the drying behaviour. DISPERBYK-2060 also stabilises effect pigments in aqueous slurries, which are used in automotive coatings and other industrial coatings. The additive contains no alkylphenol ethoxylates. Especially recommended for VOC-free pigment concentrates, glycol-containing pastes and effect pigment slurries. Also suitable for aqueous pigment concentrates and aqueous coatings.
