DISPERBYK® -2030

DISPERBYK®-2030 by BYK acts as a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent. It is a solution of copolymer with pigment affinic group. It has hydrophobic structure and is suitable for all pigment types. It is designed for all solvent-free, UV-curable printing-, inkjet inks, UV-flexographic and offset inks as well as pigment concentrates.

• It improves the optical properties of the system such as optical density, color strength, gloss, haze and transparency.
• It shows outstanding steric stabilization of the pigment and provides long-term stability.
• It can reduce the viscosity of the pigment concentrates and prevent thixotropy.
• It generates a uniform electrical charge across the pigment particle, thereby preventing possible co-flocculation of particles that are not equally charged.
• It possesses very small particle size and a narrow particle size distribution due to excellent deflocculation.
• It can achieve short filtration times and improves water & alcohol resistance of the cured film.
• It is compatible with all commonly used reactive diluent.
• DISPERBYK®-2030 can be used for indirect food contact applications.
• Recommended use level for inkjet inks is 30-90% based on organic pigment, 40-100% based on carbon black pigment and 10-25% for printing inks based on organic pigment and carbon black.
• It has a shelf life of 18 months.
