BYK-LP N 23978

BYK LPN 23978 is a solution of a copolymer with acidic groups that acts as a dispersing additive. BYK LPN 23978 deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. As a result of the small particle sizes of the deflocculated pigments achieved with BYK LPN 23978, high levels of gloss can be produced along with improved color strength, transparency and hiding power. Viscosity is also reduced, improving flow characteristics and allowing for higher pigment loading. BYK LPN 23978 is recommended for solvent-borne and solvent-free systems to stabilize inorganic pigments, specifically titanium dioxide. Its anionic character makes it ideal for acid-catalyzed systems. When used in appropriate applications, BYK LPN 23978 can deliver benefits such as improved visual aesthetics, hiding performance and application properties.
