BYKJET® -9142

BYKJET® -9142 by BYK is a polymer with pigment affinic groups. It is solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive. The additive improves the dispersing and particle size distribution of inorganic pigments in inkjet inks. Shows a highly deflocculating effect that uses steric hindrance to prevent the re-flocculation of pigments. It leads to a pronounced reduction in viscosity and Newtonian flow characteristics, which can increase the pigment content of the ink. Exhibits good long-term stability with respect to settling behavior and syneresis is also achieved. BYKJET® -9142 can be used in low-polarity ceramic inkjet inks based on hydrocarbons and fatty acid esters. It can be used either as the only dispersing additive or in combination with other products. Recommended dosage is 5-30% additive based upon total formulation.
