Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1790 is silicon-free and is recommended for solvent-free, radiation-curing (UV and ESH) coating systems (pigmented and unpigmented), printing inks and overprint varnishes. The high efficiency of the defoamer is not impacted by pigments, fillers, wax additives or matting agents.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.7% additive (as supplied) based upon 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
Due to its high incompatibility, the defoamer must be incorporated at high shear forces (in the mill base) to ensure good distribution. Otherwise defects may occur in the system.
Adhesives & Sealants
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1790 is silicon-free and is recommended for solvent-free, radiation-curing (UV and ESH) adhesives (pigmented and unpigmented) as well as for reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives. It has no negative effect on the adhesive properties of the adhesives. In radiation-curing formulations, BYK-1790 is ideal for universal use in acrylate based binders. It prevents foaming in the manufacture of reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives even at high viscosity. Significantly shorter evacuation times lead to an increase in the
efficiency of production due to the additive.
