Product Information
Controlled flocculating wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne, medium-polarity to high-polarity coatings to prevent the flooding/floating of titanium dioxide in combination with
colored pigments. Contains silicone to improve flooding/floating behavior.
Application
- Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits:
BYK-P 104 S provides a targeted, controlled flocculation of the pigments. Bridges are built between the individual pigment particles, thereby creating three-dimensional networks. This controlled flocculation of the pigments primarily prevents flooding and floating along with settling and sagging. BYK-P 104 S is particularly suited to medium-polarity to high-polarity coating systems to prevent the flooding and floating of titanium dioxide in combination with colored pigments. It has a limited compatibility with white spirit. In many cases, anticorrosive
properties are improved when used in protective primers. BYK-P 104 S also contains a small quantity of a polysiloxane copolymer to improve flooding/floating behavior. This also prevents the formation of Bénard cells and improves the surface slip and leveling, and also the orientation of matting agents and aluminum pigments. In the majority of cases, it is no longer necessary to add the silicone additives which are usually required.
