Wetting and Dispersing Additive for UV curing Systems
BYK LP-N 25579 enhances pigment wetting and improves optical properties (color strength, gloss, haze,
transparency) due to its outstanding pigment stabilization. Viscosity of the mill bases as well as of the final systems
is reduced and thixotropy is avoided. Long-term storage stability without viscosity shift is achieved. It provides
equal electrical charge to the pigment particles and thus prevents possible co-flocculation of particles that are not
equally charged. Due to the excellent pigment deflocculation particle size is small and particle size distribution is
narrow which strongly reduces filtration time.
BYK-LP N 25579 is a next-generation wetting and dispersing additive based on controlled polymerization
technology. It features extremely strong stabilization properties with various pigments in UV curing systems and
shows a good water resistance of the cured film.
