Coatings and Printing Inks Industry
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-066 N is a highly effective defoamer for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems and printing inks, which offers optimal defoaming at a very low percentage of incompatible substances.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.7% 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
To achieve optimal defoaming, the defoamer should be added to the millbase. If it is incorporated at a later time, sufficient shear forces must be ensured in order to achieve good defoamer distribution and to prevent crater formation. Ambient Curing Systems
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-066 N is a highly effective air release agent, which reduces the formation of foam during the manufacture and processing of epoxy resin and polyurethane systems in order to achieve bubble- free surfaces.
Recommended Use
Especially recommended for floorings and casting systems (polymer concrete, mineral casting) on epoxy resin and polyurethane basis.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.7% 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
Incorporate into resin before adding the other components. Can also be added to complete systems.
