BYK Additives will be presenting a new generation of process aids at this year’s K 2025 in Düsseldorf. Not only is the new polymer processing aid (PPA) BYK-MAX P 4110 PFAS-free; at the same time, it also facilitates faster production speed, prevents melt fracture, and reduces build-up on dies, resulting in reduced clean-ing efforts and, consequently, shorter downtimes for customers. It was developed for use in polyolefins with the aim of optimizing the production of films and fibers, as well as other extrusion applications.

Our defoamer, BYK-1765, was awarded the innovation prize by Ringier Publishing. The award ceremony recently took place in Shanghai. Jason Zhang, the local End Use Manager of Marine & Protective Coatings, accepted the award on BYK's behalf. BYK-1765 was specially developed for high-solid, solvent-free epoxy systems — a real problem solver for modern coatings.

He was nominated for this prestigious award for his latest technical article in the magazine of the same name. Support his forward-looking contribution with your vote!.

We are delighted that our BYK site in Tongling, China, achieved EcoVadis Gold certification on its first attempt. This places the site in the top five per cent of companies audited by EcoVadis. We are very proud of this achievement by our Tongling employees.

Another piece of good news comes from the Netherlands: Our three locations there have confirmed their gold ranking for the third time, following successes in 2019 and 2023.
