Product Features and Benefits: DISPERBYK-2012 is the preferred dispersant for resin-containing grinds. It stabilizes a wide variety of pigments, mainlyincluding transparent and opaque organic Pigments and carbon black. Various applications are also possible in resin-free grinding,even in the presence of organic amines, Rheology additives,wetting aids and organic co-solvents, Nor does it pose a problem for its dispersion properties. This high molecular weight additive improves color strength, transparencyResistance,gloss and storage stability. for pairs pH No negative impact on the stability of value-sensitive systems,It is therefore especially recommended for formulations using cationic binders. In addition,DISPERBYK-2012 It is also suitable for water-based road marking paint.

Recommended dosage
Auxiliary dosage(purchase form)Based on:
Inorganic Pigments | 5-30 % |
Titanium dioxide | 4-10 % |
Organic Pigments | 50-100 % |
carbon black | 100-230 % |
The above recommended dosage is for reference,The optimal amount of addition needs to be determined through a series of experiments.
Joining method and processing guidance
For best performance,Auxiliary must be added to the grinding base. For grinding with resin,premix resin and water, Then slowly add the additive while stirring. If the water-soluble base needs to be neutralized,then the organic amine should be in DISPERBYK-2012 before. For resin-freegrinding,just mix water and agent premix. In either case,Only add pigments after the additive has been dispersed evenly.
