Wetting & Dispersing Additives: DISPERBYK 2080 and 2081

In the realm of aqueous coating systems, the role of wetting and dispersing additives is pivotal. These specialized additives are designed to facilitate the wetting, dispersion, and stabilization of pigments and fillers, yet they possess an innate hydrophilic character. This hydrophilic nature, while advantageous for initial application, can potentially compromise the coating's long-term properties like water, corrosion, and stain resistance. Keyser & Mackay offers an innovative solution to address these concerns.

Introducing DISPERBYK-2080 and DISPERBYK-2081

The DISPERBYK-2080 and DISPERBYK-2081 are advanced additives developed to mitigate the disadvantages commonly associated with hydrophilic structures. By leveraging a novel chemical composition, these additives significantly reduce viscosity and deflocculate pigments. They are particularly adept at managing inorganic pigments, fillers, and anti-corrosive pigments, all without compromising the critical properties of the cured coating film.

Applications and Benefits

• Aqueous Anti-Corrosive Primers: Ideal for environments requiring enhanced durability against corrosion.
• Direct to Metal Systems: Ensures optimal performance when applied directly onto metal surfaces.
• Aqueous Wood and Furniture Coatings: Maintains the aesthetic and protective qualities essential for wood applications.

The unique formulation of DISPERBYK-2080 and DISPERBYK-2081 not only improves the application process but also ensures the longevity and resistance of coatings in various industries.
