Liquid Coatings
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1794 is an emissions-free defoamer and air release agent in accordance with the AgBB (Committee for the Health-Related Evaluation of Building Products) and the French standard. The additive is particularly recommended for high-solids and solvent-free systems based on epoxy, PUR, polyaspartics, and UV systems. It is suitable for pigmented and non-pigmented systems, has no impact on surface properties and takes effect both during production and subsequent processing. The additive has 100 % solids and is VOC-free. BYK-1794 is used, for example, in thick layer systems such as floor coatings. BYK-1794 is highly compatible with solvent-free coatings for ballast tanks, tank interiors, etc. It is also extremely effective in 100 % polyurethane and polyaspartic acid ester systems for pipelines and concrete coatings as well as other solvent-free coating systems for high-performance protective coatings. In typical solvent-borne coil coating systems (e.g. polyester melamine or PUR), BYK-1794 is very compatible and also provides good, spontaneous defoaming. Excellent results are achieved in UV systems for wood and furniture coatings.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1 % additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
BYK-1794 can be incorporated in the millbase as well as in the letdown product. If post-added, ensure sufficient shear forces are applied.

Adhesives & Sealants
Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1794 is an emissions-free defoamer and air release agent in accordance with AgBB (Committee for the Health-Related Evaluation of Building Products) and the French standard. The additive is particularly recommended for solvent-free systems based on PUR and epoxy. BYK-1794 can be used, for example, in laminating adhesives both for thin layers and thick layer systems. It is suitable for filled and unfilled systems and has no impact on surface properties or transparency. BYK-1794 has 100 % solids and is VOC-free.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1 % additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
BYK-1794 can be incorporated easily and takes effect both during production and processing.
