BYK® -9076

BYK® -9076 by BYK is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for ambient curing resin systems, PVC plastisols and production of color masterbatches for thermoplastics based on PE, PP, ABS, PVC, PET and PA. For SMC and pultrusion, it prevents phase separation in all kinds of unsaturated polyesters with differing thermoplastics and is suitable for formulations with low emissions. It is also recommended for stabilizing organic pigments, in particular, acidic and neutral carbon blacks as well as for wetting carbon fibers. For ambient curing resin systems, BYK® -9076 deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. It also generates a uniform electrical charge in the pigment particles. As a result of the small particle size of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and color strength is improved. It increases the transparency in transparent pigments and the hiding power in opaque pigments. Provides improved flow characteristics, higher pigment load and greater process reliability. For thermoplastics, it significantly reduces the viscosity and brings about newtonian flow characteristics in the mill base. The recommended dosage level is 5-30% additive based on organic pigments & carbon blacks for pigment stabilization, 0.5-1% additive based on the fiber content, for wetting carbon fibers and 0.3-1% additive based on the resin quantity to prevent phase separation. The shelf life of BYK® -9076 is 36 months.
