DISPERBYK 199 BF is a VOC-free wetting and dispersing additive that provides effective stabilization of organic and inorganic pigments in aqueous systems. DISPERBYK 199 BF uses electrosteric stabilization to deflocculate pigments, resulting in small particle size and high color strength. This leads to improved transparency, hiding power and flow characteristics. The additive allows for higher loading of pigments. DISPERBYK 199 BF is suitable for use in highly filled systems and provides reduced viscosity, enabling easier processing or higher filler loading. It represents an alternative to conventional wetting agents and ensures effective deflocculation and stabilization of fillers and pigments through electrosteric mechanisms.
