- Application Information
Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1724 is recommended for defoaming aqueous coatings based on pure acrylate, acrylate/polyurethane and polyurethane in the pigment volume concentration range (PVC) 0-25. The additive is effective when used in all standard application methods such as rolling, painting, spraying, and pouring.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation – in exceptional cases up to 1%.
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 generally be added at any time during production. The defoamer should preferably be added to the let-down or be post-added.
Printing Inks and Overprint Varnishes
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1724 is recommended for defoaming aqueous printing inks and overprint varnishes based on acrylate/polyurethane and polyurethane. Also for aqueous UV systems.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1% additive (as supplied) based on the 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-1724 is recommended for defoaming aqueous dispersion adhesives.
Recommended Levels
0.05-1% additive (as supplied) based on the 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.
Household, Industrial, and Commercial Cleaning Agents
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1724 is an Ecolabel-compliant silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous care products and cleaning agents, which can demonstrate its considerable defoaming effect already during production. This effect is maintained after the application.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.5% additive (as supplied) based on the 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 is preferably added at the start of formulation, however it is possible to use it at any stage of manufacture.
