Such flow properties can be achieved by using specially developed additives such as RHEOBYK-D 410 and RHEOBYK-R 605 , which adsorb onto the particle surface,…

Which wetting- and dispersing additive can be used to stabilize fillers or pigments in an aqueous epoxy-based floor…

Fillers or pigments that are not properly wetted, dispersed, and stabilized tend to: create a high viscosity exhibit poor compound flow behavior ANTI-TERRA-250…

Biologically inspired: fighting germs using HCIO hydrogels with smectites

possibility of using structures from nature, paired with a very high purity and consistent quality. Their great potential is presented here using PURABYK-R 5500…

We are producing a solvent borne paint and using fumed silica as rheology modifier. The effect is not strong enough. Do…

RHEOBYK-7405 is an aromatic- and tin-free rheology additive and used as a thixotropy-enhancing additive in solvent-free and solvent-borne systems which contain …

I have been using mineral oil defoamers for a long time. Nowerdays my customers are more critical and are complaining…

BYK-014 shows an excellent defoaming performance in various dispersions such as acrylates or VAE´s (vinyl acetate ethylene). BYK-014 is emission-free and…

We are developing 2 pack aqueous epoxy anti-corrosion coatings. Now in my lab experience, pinholes are always observed…

recommended to apply higher shear forces or try BYK-1710 . To enlarge open time use 0,5-1,0% BYKETOL AQ or a surface additive 0,3-0,5% BYK-3455 or BYK-349 will…

How can we avoid seeding when using LAPONITE-RD in water-based base coat?

as long as it is liquid. Postaddition of polypropylene glycole increases the using time of the LAPONITE solution drastically.

We are currently using a fluorine-containing leveling additive to formulate our aqueous wood coatings. This particular…

products are withdrawn from the market and legislation restricts their use. It is common practice to use additive combinations to achieve substrate wetting and…

We have applied different water-based systems via airless spray application. Dependent on the resin used, some systems…

BYK-1786 (0.3-1.0% as delivered on total formulation) is recommended for a broad range of water-based systems which are applied via airless or airmix spray…

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?

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