Basic Information
- Brand Model: BYK - W996
- Product Name: Dispersant
- Packaging Specification: 20 kg/blue iron drum
- Chemical Composition: Copolymer solution containing acidic groups
Product Features
- Wide Applicability: As a universal wetting and dispersing agent, BYK - W996 is compatible with various filled systems such as unsaturated polyester and epoxy. It can be used in almost all closed - mold molding applications, including the manufacturing of composite parts for auto components and aerospace parts, and maintains stable performance in different production processes and system formulations.
- Cost - effectiveness: Classified as an economical wetting and dispersing additive, it ensures excellent wetting and dispersing effects while helping enterprises effectively control production costs. Particularly, it performs outstandingly in high - filled aluminum hydroxide (ATH) systems, efficiently dispersing ATH fillers, preventing filler agglomeration, improving the uniformity and stability of the system, and thereby enhancing the quality and performance of end - products.
- Synergistic Effect: When a higher dosage of additives is required, mixing BYK - W996 with BYK - W9010 at a 1:1 ratio enables complementary advantages in the performance of the two additives. This further strengthens the wetting and dispersing capabilities for fillers, better meeting the needs of complex systems and special processes.
- System Performance Improvement: Through effective wetting and dispersion of fillers, it reduces the viscosity of the filled system and improves the fluidity of the system. This makes the materials easier to mix, inject, or compression - mold during processing, and helps enhance the mechanical properties of the products, such as strength, hardness, and toughness.
Application Fields
- Composite Material Industry: In the production of unsaturated polyester - based composite materials, it is used to enhance the bonding between glass fibers, carbon fibers, etc., and unsaturated polyester resins. Meanwhile, it effectively disperses filled inorganic fillers (such as calcium carbonate and talc), improving the comprehensive performance of composite products. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of sanitary ware, yacht hulls, and other products.
- Epoxy Product Field: During the production of epoxy potting compounds and epoxy floor coatings, it helps inorganic pigments and fillers disperse uniformly in epoxy resins, endowing epoxy products with better wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. It is suitable for scenarios such as electronic component potting and industrial floor coating.
- Other Closed - Mold Molding Fields: In closed - mold molding processes like reaction injection molding (RIM) and resin transfer molding (RTM), it improves the processing performance of materials and the quality of products, and is widely applied in the manufacturing of automotive interior parts and sports goods.
Recommended Dosage
The specific dosage of BYK - W996 (based on the total amount of fillers in the system in the purchased form) needs to be determined according to the type of filled system, the type and content of fillers, and specific production process requirements. It is generally recommended to conduct small - scale tests first to observe the viscosity change of the system, the dispersion state of fillers, and the performance of the final products. This helps determine the optimal dosage that ensures good dispersion effects while controlling costs. When used in combination with BYK - W9010, tests are also required to optimize the mixing ratio and total dosage of the two additives.
Addition Method
During the production process, it is recommended to add BYK - W996 to the resin before mixing the resin with fillers, and stir thoroughly to ensure its uniform dispersion in the resin system. Then, gradually add the fillers and continue stirring or use other dispersion equipment (such as high - speed dispersers and grinders) to ensure that the fillers are fully wetted and dispersed by BYK - W996, achieving the best dispersion effect.
Storage Conditions
It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well - ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and high - temperature environments. The ideal storage temperature range is 5 - 30°C. In low - temperature environments, the product may experience an increase in viscosity. Before use, it needs to be returned to room temperature and stirred thoroughly to ensure stable product performance without affecting the application effect. At the same time, attention should be paid to sealed storage to prevent the product from absorbing moisture in the air or reacting with other substances, which may affect its quality.
