Special Features and Benefits - BYK-154 stabilizes pigments and fillers by electrostatic repulsion and is recommended for aqueous emulsion paints. The additive increases gloss, reduces viscosity and improves storage stability. Combined with a wetting additive such as DISPERKBYK-187, the colorant acceptance is improved when tinting with universal colorants. BYK-154 does not stabilize foam.

Recommended Levels - Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment:
- Inorganic pigments: 2-10%
- Titanium dioxides: 1.5-2%
- Fillers: 0.5-1%
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 before the addition of pigments.
Special Note - In protective coating systems the use of an additional dispersant based on an organic phosphate compound is recommended together with BYK-154 to improve the storage stability.
