Learn more about BYK-A
BYK-A is one of BYK's trade name for air release agents. Air release agents prevent and destroy foam that occurs during production and processing. The use of air release agents allows for improved processing, a perfect surface finish and optimal product properties. They can be used in coatings, printing inks, plastics, and many other industrial processes where foam is usually undesirable in the final application.
Key benefits
- Air release
- Deaeration of formulations
Learn more about BYK-DYNWET
BYK-DYNWET is one of BYK's brand for surface additives. During the application of liquid coatings on surfaces a multitude of surface defects can occur. The cause for this is, among others, significantly differing surface tensions. If, for example, the surface tension of the coating is higher than that of the substrate, this manifests itself in poor wetting (high contact angle) and, with that poor adhesion and cratering. Also after the application and while the coating is drying, local surface tension differences can cause unfavorable leveling and the floating of pigments. BYK-DYNWET additives are silicone-free and are especially used to reduce dynamic surface tension in e.g. aqueous coatings and printing inks.
Key benefits
- Surface additive
- Reduced dynamic surface tension
- Silicone-free
