Special Features and Benefits
BYK-1798 is a very effective silicone defoamer for all water-soluble systems (physically drying and baking systems) and is also recommended for radiation-curable coatings.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.7% 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
To ensure the full effect, the defoamer should be added already during the grinding. If post-adding, ensure a sufficiently high shear force in order to distribute the additive well and to prevent cratering.
