The above-mentioned usage levels strongly depend on pigment particle size. Optimal levels are determined through a series
of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
For optimum performance, these additives must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
Before processing, BYK-P 105 should be preheated until the additive has good flow properties. This facilitates more accurate
dosing.

recommended suitable Function
These additives lead to a controlled flocculation of pigments. Bridges are formed between individual pigment particles causing three-dimensional structures to develop. The controlled flocculation of pigments prevents flooding and floating, settling, and
sagging of pigments.
Special Features and Benefits
Especially suited for medium to high polar adhesive systems and particularly effective in preventing
flooding of titanium dioxide in combination with other color pigments. It is also used in amine-neutralized aqueous systems; it has limited compatibility with mineral spirits.
BYK-P 104 S
BYK-P 104 S can be used in the same systems as BYK-P 104. The additive also contains a small
amount of a polysiloxane copolymer to more effectively prevent flooding. This silicone content is
additionally helpful in preventing Bénard cells and silking.
BYK-P 105
BYK-P 105 is the solvent-free version of BYK-P 104. The additive shows a high efficiency with acrylate adhesives to prevent settling of fillers.
