Thermosets
Special features and benefits
Air release additive to prevent foam and bubbles during the manufacture and application of thermoset systems. It is particularly suitable for use in roof waterproofing and casting resins based on polyurethanes or epoxy resin systems.
Recommended levels
0.1–1% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
Stir into the resin before adding other components. It is also possible to add the additive to finished systems.Adhesives and sealants
Special features and benefits
BYK-A 535 T is a defoamer for all solvent-borne and solvent-free adhesives and sealants. Particularly recommended for systems that are based on polyurethane and epoxy resins. BYK-A 535 T may cause cloudiness in transparent systems.
Recommended levels
0.1–1% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
Stir into the resin before adding other components.Coatings industry
Special features and benefits
BYK-A 535 T is particularly suitable for solvent-free systems such as polyurethane and epoxy coatings. It prevents air bubbles and pinholes. BYK-A 535 T may cause cloudiness in transparent systems.Recommended levels
0.1–1% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. The optimum dosage should be determined by application-related test series.
Incorporation and processing instructions
To achieve optimal defoaming, the defoamer should be added already to the mill base. If incorporating at a later stage, sufficiently high shear forces must be applied to ensure a good distribution and to prevent cratering.
