DISPERBYK®-2152 BYK DISPERBYK®-2152 is an emission-free, hyperbranched wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-free epoxy systems and other reactive systems.

Achieving excellent deflocculation and stabilization requires an additive with highly efficient pigment-affinic groups. In general, those pigment-affinic groups are aminic in nature and can react with the epoxy resins. Due to the special hyperbranched structure of DISPERBYK®-2152 the aminic pigment-affinic groups are encapsulated by polyester side chains; this prevents reaction with the epoxy resin, and, as a result, long-term storage stability is achieved. The additive contains no solvents or volatile components and fulfills the strict requirements of the German AgBB as well as French VOC standards view less

This product accelerates the crosslinking of amino resins with resins containing hydroxyl groups. Especially low reactive melamine formaldehyde resins of HMMM-type need an accelerator to lower the curing temperature or to reduce the baking time. In comparison with pure para-toluenesulfonic acid, the product shows considerably lower viscosity increase on storage which can extend shelf life 1,5 - 3 times. The additive allows a 10 to 20°C lower baking temperature compared to other blocked para-TSA catalysts (such as those with morpholine or aminomethylpropanol). view less
