Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive produces a significant decrease in the surface tension of aqueous systems and therefore particularly improves substrate wetting and leveling. It only marginally, if at all, stabilizes foam and the recoatability is not impaired. BYK-347 is characterized by its good substrate wetting properties, particularly also with thin-layered application. The additive does not increase the surface slip. If a greater surface slip is required, we recommended that it is combined with a polysiloxane such as BYK-333.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for all aqueous coatings, printing inks and overprint varnishes, particularly also for formulations which do not contain co-solvents.Recommended Levels
0.05-0.5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in coatings.
0.1-1% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in printing inks.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal dosage levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
It is preferable to add the additive to the finished formulation. However, it can be used at any stage during manufacture.

The additive is also suitable for systems that do not contain organic co-solvents. If the system contains increased quantities of co-solvents, the silicone surfactant will not be as effective. In such formulations, we recommend the use of a polysiloxane, e.g. BYK-333.
