Coatings industry
Special features and benefits
BYK-141 is a defoamer for all solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems.Recommended levels
0.1–0.7% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
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.Thermosets
Special features and benefits
Air release agent to prevent foam and bubbles during the manufacture and application of ambient curing plastic applications.
Recommended use
Recommended for transparent casting compounds as well as filled polyurethane-based electro casting systems.
Recommended levels
0.1–1% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
Incorporate into resin before adding the other components. Can also be added to complete systems.Adhesives and sealants
Special features and benefits
BYK-141 is a defoamer for all solvent-borne and solvent-free adhesives and sealants, especially also for epoxy and polyurethane systems.
Recommended levels
0.1 - 1% additive in delivery form on total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
Stir into the resin before adding other components. Addition into finished systems is also possible.
