drinking water). To prevent further surface defect, like crater tendency, BYK-306 can help to improve flow/leveling and anti-cratering.

How can I improve the rub resistance of my matt and gloss waterbased OPV?

We recommend AQUACER 530 for high gloss OPV and AQUAMAT 272 N for semigloss to matt OPV.

The viscosity of my water based foundry wash is too high due to the solid content. How can I change this?

Wetting and dispersing additives help to reduce viscosity in highly filled foundry washes. DISPERBYK and DISPERBYK-192 are good products for foundry washes.
