Water-based dispersant specifically for preventing floating and flooding in epoxy systems.

BYK-110 Wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-based systems
Chemical composition
Solution of a copolymer with acidic groups
Function

These additives deflocculate pigments through steric hindrance. Due to the small size of deflocculated pigment particles, high gloss and enhanced color strength can be achieved.

Additionally, transparency and hiding power are increased. These products reduce viscosity, thereby improving leveling and allowing higher pigment loading.

Applications

Industrial coatings

Architectural coatings

Coil coatings

Automotive coatings

Wood and furniture coatings

Protective coatings

BYK-110 is suitable for stabilizing inorganic pigments, especially titanium dioxide, and significantly reduces millbase viscosity. Due to its anionic

character, it is well-suited for acid-catalyzed systems (e.g., coil coatings). It reduces haze in coatings containing inorganic pigments applied by electrostatic spray.

It can be used together with pigment pastes stabilized with BYK-160 series additives.

Incorporation and processing guidance

The additive should be added to the millbase before the pigments are introduced.

Below 5°C, separation and cloudiness may occur.

Warm to 20°C and mix thoroughly before use.
