BYK-9076

BYK-9076 is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive that prevents separation and improves fiber wetting. Particularly recommended for carbon black pigments. BYK-9076 deflocculates pigments through steric stabilization and generates uniform electrical charge in pigment particles. This repulsion effect and steric stabilization prevents coflocculation leading to non-floating coloring in pigment blends. As a result of small particle size of deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and color strength is improved. Transparency is increased in transparent pigments and hiding power in opaque pigments. Viscosity is reduced improving flow characteristics and allowing higher pigment loading. BYK-9076 is suitable for all pigments and recommended for stabilizing acidic and neutral carbon blacks. It improves process reliability.
