Special Features and Benefits - BYK-153 stabilizes the pigments and fillers by electrostatic repulsion and is recommended for aqueous emulsion paints. The additive increases gloss, improves leveling, shortens dispersing time and stabilizes the pigment dispersion. BYK-153 can be used as the only dispersing additive in most cases. It can be used for inorganic pigments and fillers.
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 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
