What flame retardant additives can you recommend for my intumescent coating?

We cannot offer a flame retardant additive like we do for plastics (e.g. for cable coatings), but we can recommend some additives that improve the performance…

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

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 also improve substrate wetting.

Even there is no demand for aqueous clear coats at the moment I would like to prepare for the future with such a system.…

For substrate wetting you should use 0.2-0.5% of a silicone surfactant like BYK-345 , BYK-349 or BYK-3455 . To increase the anti crater properties and for a…

Our aqueous internal can coating shows bad wetting on tinplate. We are looking for a silicone free product being fully…

Please test BYK-3410 . This product is silicone free and fully compliant to FDA 175.300. By reducing the surface tension of the liquid paint it will improve the…

Can you recommend us an additive package for water-based coil coating?

water-based coil coating formulations. For a general overview please see our Additive Selection Chart L-AG 1.7.

I am seeking for a broadly applicable surface additive which provides excellent surface slip without any negative side…

BYK-3760 is a solvent-free surface additive based upon a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane. Due to its delivery form

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

the market and legislation restricts their use. It is common practice to use additive combinations to achieve substrate wetting and leveling performance at the…

I am utilizing different types of untreated and treated silica based matting agents to reduce gloss for my water-based…

for water-based systems compared to other conventional wetting and dispersing additives. We recommend to apply an additive dosage of 5.0-10.0% solid on matting…

Can you give me your best rheology additive? I need good sag resistance and good leveling in my water-based 2 pack PU…

Rheology behavior can have a huge influence on leveling, if the coating has strong pseudoplastic behavior with a high viscosity in the low shear range it can…
