Additives for Adhesives & Sealants: Aqueous

BYK®-012

VOC-free and silicone-free defoamer on polymer-basis for aqueous coatings, adhesives, and paper coatings. Particularly suitable for premium high-gloss architectural coatings. Optimal effect despite addition of smallest amounts only.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-014

VOC-free and silicone-free defoamer on the basis of fat derivatives and polymers for aqueous architectural coatings, plasters, and adhesives. Particularly suitable for premium high-gloss architectural coatings. Optimal effect despite addition of smallest amounts only.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-016

VOC-free and silicone-free defoamer on polymer-basis for aqueous coatings, adhesives, and paper coatings. Particularly suitable for printing inks. Suitable for direct food contact.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-022

VOC-free silicone defoamer for aqueous industrial, architectural, and wood coatings as well as printing inks and adhesives. May be used in millbase and let-down. Highly effective defoamer requires high shear forces for incorporation.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-093

VOC-free silicone defoamer for aqueous wood, architectural, and industrial coatings as well as printing inks and adhesives. All-purpose. Excellent long-term stability of the finished coating system at high and low temperatures. Easy to incorporate. Suitable for clear coats and pigmented systems as well as all common methods of application.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-154

Wetting and dispersing additive on the basis of an ammonium polyacrylate for aqueous architectural coatings and adhesives for pigment stabilization. Often used in combination with DISPERBYK®-187 to improve color acceptance. BYK®-154 is not available on the North American market. Instead use BYK®-156, which has different solids content.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-346

Silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, printing inks, and paper coatings with a significant reduction of surface tension. Therefore good substrate wetting. No effect on surface slip. Particularly suitable for co-solvent-borne systems.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-348

Silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, printing inks, and paper coatings with a strong reduction of surface tension. Therefore good substrate wetting. No influence on surface slip. Suitable for co-solvent-free systems.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-425

VOC-free, liquid rheology additive for aqueous dispersion-based systems to improve anti-sagging and to adjust in-can viscosity. The additive is suitable for increasing the grinding viscosity of aqueous pigment pastes.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 
BYK®-3410

Silicone-free substrate wetting agent for aqueous paper coatings, adhesives, and printing inks. Reduces the dynamic surface tension. Stabilizes the curtain (curtain coating) in paper coatings.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 

BYK®-DYNWET® 800

Silicone-free substrate wetting agent for aqueous coating systems, printing inks, adhesives, and paper coatings. Reduces the dynamic surface tension. Low foam stabilization. Particularly suitable for high-speed applications.


BYK®-E 420

Liquid rheology additive for aqueous and water-reducible systems to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. Increases thixotropy. The additive is particularly suitable for the production of aqueous pigment pastes. Contains the solvent NEP.

Compliant with FDA and/or EU food contact regulations. 

DISPERBYK®-180

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free, and aqueous coating systems, printing inks, and adhesives. Particularly suitable for inorganic pigments and titanium dioxide.

DISPERBYK®-190

VOC-free and solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous coating systems, printing inks, and adhesives. Standard additive for pigment concentrates without resins. Suitable for all pigments.

DISPERBYK®-191

VOC-free and solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous coating systems and adhesives. Suitable for pigment concentrates with and without resins. Particularly suitable for emulsions.

DISPERBYK®-199

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous coating systems and printing inks for pigment concentrates without resins, particularly for organic pigments and carbon blacks. Complements DISPERBYK®-190 in printing inks.
