Special Features and Benefits
BYK-028 is the standard defoamer for aqueous emulsion systems and the starting point for series testing with similar products. The defoamer is particularly recommended for high gloss emulsion systems based on acrylate/polyurethane or polyurethane in the PVC range of 0 to 25 and is easy to incorporate.
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. The amount of defoamer used is often divided (by adding 2/3 into the millbase and 1/3 into the let-down or finished product).Adhesives
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-028 is recommended for defoaming all common aqueous adhesive systems.
Recommended Levels
0.05-1% 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.
