Printing Inks and Overprint Varnishes
BYK-016 is a very effective silicone- and mineral oil-free defoamer for aqueous printing inks, overprint varnishes and inkjet printing inks. It has no negative influence on the runnability and does not cause any defects in the print image.
Recommended Levels
1-2% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series
of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be added at any time during production. Sufficiently high shear forces must be applied.
Coatings Industry
BYK-016 is a very effective silicone- and mineral oil-free defoamer for aqueous coating systems and is particularly recommended for can and coil coatings.
Recommended Levels
1-2% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a
series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be added at any time during production. Sufficiently high shear forces must be applied.
Adhesives & Sealants
BYK-016 is a very effective silicone- and mineral oil-free defoamer for aqueous adhesives. It can be very easily incorporated and displays a good compatibility in sensitive systems. In aqueous cold seal adhesives for flexible food packaging BYK-016 prevents foam very efficiently and can be used without any problems as a result of its approval for use in contact with food.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a
series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be added at any time during production. Sufficiently high shear forces must be applied.
Thermoplastics
BYK-016 is recommended for use as a defoamer for the underwater pelletizing of thermoplastics.
Recommended Levels
0.05-0.1 % additive (as supplied) in the circulation water.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive is added directly into the circulation water.
