Special Features and Benefits - BYK-152 stabilizes the pigments and fillers by electrostatic repulsion and is recommended for aqueous emulsion paints. The additive increases gloss, lowers viscosity and improves storage stability. BYK-152 does not have a foam stabilizing effect. As an ammonium salt it affects curing and water resistance to a lesser extent than metal salts.

Recommended Levels -  Additive dosage as supplied based on pigment:

  • Inorganic pigments: 1.5-8%
  • Titanium dioxides: 1-2%
  • Fillers: 0.4-0.8%

The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal dosage levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests

Incorporation and Processing -  Instructions For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the mill base prior to addition of pigments and fillers.
