DISPERBYK® -194 N

DISPERBYK® -194 N by Byk (Altana Group) is an aromatic-free, solution of a copolymer with pigment affinic groups. Acts as a wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous systems and pigment concentrates for use in aqueous two-pack polyurethane and two-pack epoxy systems. The additive deflocculates pigments through steric stabilization of the pigments. Due to the small particle size of the deflocculated pigments, high gloss is achieved and the color strength is improved. In addition, this product increases the transparency and hiding power of pigments and reduces viscosity. It improves leveling and allows for higher pigment loading. Pigment concentrates formulated with DISPERBYK® -194 N can be incorporated into amine components as well as epoxy resins. Recommended for use in industrial-, wood and furniture- and protective coatings. Recommended dosage is 15-35% (inorganic pigments), 7-13% (titanium dioxide), 30-90% (organic pigments) and 100-150% (carbon blacks) of additive based upon total formulation.
