Special Features and Benefits DISPERBYK-2000 deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. It also generates a uniform electrical charge in the pigment particles. The resulting repulsion effect and the steric stabilization prevent any coflocculation which leads to non-floating coloring in pigment blends. As a result of the small particle size of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the color strength is improved, transparency is increased in transparent pigments and hiding power is increased in opaque pigments. In the case of fine-particle carbon blacks, DISPERBYK-2000 produces a significant improvement in the jetness of carbon blacks. Furthermore, the viscosity is reduced which improves the leveling properties and enables a higher pigment load. Recommended Use DISPERBYK-2000 is particularly recommended for automotive coatings and is suitable for base coats containing CAB and all top coats. It prevents the reflocculation of the pigments even when CAB is added after grinding. For an outstanding grind result it is not necessary to use CAB in the grinding phase
