Additives for Adhesives & Sealants: Solvent-borne, solvent-free

Silicone defoamer for solvent-borne industrial and architectural coatings as well as adhesives. Standard silicone defoamer for all solvent-borne systems. Good balance between effectiveness and compatibility.

Silicone and polymer defoamer for solvent-borne, medium-polar to high-polar industrial, automotive, and wood coatings as well as adhesives. Suitable as a post-additive.

Silicone and polymer defoamer for solvent-borne, radiation-curable can coatings, industrial, wood, and furniture coatings as well as printing inks and adhesives. Aromatic-free.

Silicone surface additive for solvent-free and solvent-borne coating systems and printing inks with strong reduction of surface tension. Excellent substrate wetting, prevents craters, and increases surface slip. Solvent-free alternative to BYK®-306.

Silicone surface additive for solvent-free, solvent-borne and aqueous coating systems and printing inks with a strong reduction of surface tension. Excellent substrate wetting, prevents craters, and increases surface slip.

Liquid rheology additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free medium-polarity systems to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. The additive is particularly suitable for thick layer systems due to its pseudoplastic flow behavior.

Solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems, PVC plastisols, thermoplastics, and adhesives to stabilize organic and inorganic pigments, particularly carbon blacks. Particularly suitable for the production of polyol pastes for PU as well as PVC applications. Anti-separation additive for SMC/BMC formulations.

Silicone-free air release additive on polymer-basis for solvent-free and solvent-borne epoxy and PUR systems as well as adhesives. Improves fiber wetting. For highly thixotropic gel coats and acrylic syrup. Often used in combination with BYK®-A 555 or BYK®-A 501.

Silicone polymer air release additive for solvent-free and solvent-borne epoxy systems and adhesives with good air-releasing and defoaming effects.

Silicone-free air release additive for solvent-free and solvent-borne epoxy and PUR systems as well as adhesives. Particularly suitable for systems with food contact, e.g. coating for tank interiors. May affect transparency.

Silicone-free air release additive for solvent-free and solvent-borne UP systems and adhesives. Excellent air-release with a minor tendency for turbidity in unsaturated polyester resins. Particularly suitable for transparent systems.

Liquid rheology additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free systems to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties in a medium-polar range. Increases thixotropy. Post addition is possible. Contains the solvent NEP.

Controlled flocculating wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free industrial and architectural coatings to prevent titanium dioxide flooding/floating in combination with colored pigments. Solvent-free version of BYK®-P 104.

Liquid rheology additive for plastic applications such as vinylester and epoxy resins, unsaturated polyester resins, and gel coats to reinforce the rheological effectiveness of fumed silica. Facilitates silica incorporation, prevents separation, and increases/stabilizes thixotropic behavior.

Wetting and dispersing additive for mineral fillers in unsaturated resin systems and adhesives. The additive prevents flooding/floating and settling of pigments and fillers in epoxy-based and VE/UP-based laminates. Reduces flooding/floating of colored pigments in gel coats.

Anti-settling additive for mineral-filled PU systems and adhesives.

Wetting and dispersing additive for coating systems, UP resins, and adhesive applications to reduce viscosity in filled spray-up and hand lay-up resins as well as cobalt-accelerated putty compounds. Aromatic-free.

Wetting and dispersing additive for amide accelerated UP, EP, PUR systems and adhesives to reduce viscosity in mineral-filled systems. Embedded into the polymer matrix due to their OH functionality. Prolonged gelling time in cobalt-accelerated UP resins.

Wetting and dispersing additive for UP resins and adhesives. Improves dispersion of all traditional fillers such as calcium carbonate and aluminum hydroxide in UP and EP resins. Reduces viscosity and dispersing time and prevents fillers from settling, particularly in highly ATH-filled systems (fire protection). Stabilizes titanium dioxide dispersions in gel coats.

Wetting and dispersing additive for UP resins and adhesives for drastically reduced viscosity.
