Special Features and Benefits

BYK-ES 80 increases the electrical conductivity of liquid coatings. It maintains the film coating properties, such as adhesion, does not cause diskoloration and stabilizes viscosity.

Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for automotive OEM coatings and industrial coatings that are electrostatically sprayed on.

Recommended Levels
0.2-2% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation, depending on the polarity of the system. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : BYK-ES 80 can be post-added to the coating. In non-polar systems that are only diluted with white spirit or xylene, BYK-ES 80 should be diluted with isobutanol (1:1 or 1:2) beforehand so as to improve compatibility and performance.

Special Note : The additive may shorten the pot life of two-component systems.
