DISPERBYK-2015 is a broadly applicable VOC-free wetting and dispersing additive for water-based pigment concentrates and coating systems. It achieves superb sta

Do you have a rheology additive that will work in a amine grind? All rheology additives I tried are either not working…

For aqueous amine grinds use 2% RHEOBYK-440 . It will not react and gives good rheological characteristics. In solventborne amine grinds use RHEOBYK-430 .

We formulate a broad range of clear and pigmented water-based wood coatings and we are currently seeking for a broadly…

RHEOBYK-H 3300 VF and RHEOBYK-M 2600 VF are associative mid-shear thickeners which are highly recommended to adjust the in-can viscosity and the "body" of clear…

Which additive can be used to create a deep matting effect in a waterbased floor top coat formulation?

BYK offers wax additives which can be used directly in waterbased coating formulation. AQUAMAT 208 or CERAFLOUR 927 N offer matting effects and can be used…

Can you recommend a suitable rheology additive for a xylene based alkyd paint?

If you want to use a liquid rheology additive, you can use RHEOBYK-7411 CA (Poly urea) or RHEOBYK-430 . These products can be post added. A possible clay based…

We are looking for an anti popping additive to be used in a solvent borne Polyester / Melamine coil coating topcoat used…

We are facing issues when formulating deep matt solvent-free radiation-curing wood coatings. To reduce the gloss level…

We recommend the usage of a wetting and dispersing additive to disperse the silica based matting agents in your solvent-free radiation-curing coating.…

Our target is to formulate a Polayaspartics top coat, which has a smooth, dull surface. How can we achieve this?

It is a little bit difficult to matt a Polyaspartics coating. Due to the low VOC content, the shrinkage of the coating is very limited. This shrinkage is very…
