In coating and ink production, the imported dispersant BYK-2009 performs well but comes with pain points such as long procurement cycles, large price swings and slow technical support. Many manufacturers urgently need a stable, high-efficiency alternative to safeguard production continuity and cost control.
Targeting these market needs, Chemi Tech has launched a polymeric dispersant series designed specifically to replace BYK-2009. The plan achieves precise substitution through the following steps:
First, sample matching tests. Based on the customer's existing formulation system, we provide customized small samples and compare key indicators such as compatibility, dispersion stability and millbase viscosity.
Second, production process optimization. Dosing method and process parameters are adjusted for different grinding equipment (such as sand mills and ball mills) to maximize dispersion efficiency.
Third, batch verification. Pilot trials verify the alternative's stability in continuous production and ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
An industrial coatings company that adopted the Chemi Tech dispersant KMT-4009 not only solved the delivery delays of the original product, but also shortened dispersion time by 15%; storage stability tests showed no settling or re-flocculation. The company has completed full substitution, reducing annual procurement costs by 22%.
Chemi Tech's professional technical service team supports the whole journey from formulation analysis and sample trials to production line adaptation, helping customers substitute smoothly. Performance closely matches BYK-2009, with even better color development in polar systems.
