DISPERBYK 181 is an additive that improves the storage stability and colorant acceptance in aqueous systems. It is generally used together with a dispersing additive such as BYK-154. DISPERBYK 181 additive increases the gloss and flow properties in emulsion systems. It also enhances the colorant acceptance and color development in tinting formulations. As an post additive, DISPERBYK 181 can be added at 0.3-1% to optimize the performance. Laboratory tests are recommended to determine the optimal addition levels based on the application requirements. DISPERBYK 181 additive delivers benefits such improved workability, color consistency and extended shelf life for aqueous formulations in industries.
