Special Features and Benefits
NANOBYK-3603 significantly improves the scratch resistance of aqueous coating systems, without having a negative impact on properties such as gloss and transparency. As the aluminum oxide nanoparticles are very small, it is even suitable for highly transparent and high-gloss coatings, and can be used in clear or pigmented systems. Even low levels of NANOBYK-3603 provide long-term protection against scratching. NANOBYK-3603 can be utilized in aqueous coatings and in aqueous, radiation-curable systems, and also in- Acrylate dispersions,
- Self-crosslinking acrylate dispersions,
- Styrene acrylate dispersions,
- Urethane acrylate dispersions,
- Aliphatic polyester polyurethane dispersions.
Recommended Levels
1-5% 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
The product reaches its full effectiveness when added at low shear forces. This ensures that even distribution in the binder system is achieved.Polishes
Special Features and Benefits
NANOBYK-3603 significantly improves the scratch resistance of aqueous car polishes.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for use in aqueous car polishes.
Recommended Levels
10-15% additive (as supplied) based on the formulated carnauba wax / LDPE-based car polishes. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The product reaches its full effectiveness when added at low shear forces. This ensures that even distribution in the system is achieved.
Special Note
An additional dosage of NANOBYK-3603 in combination with BYK-SILCLEAN 3720 also improves scratch resistance.
