BYK-038 is a VOC-free, silicone-containing, mineral oil-based defoamer for aqueous emulsion paints, coatings, and cleaning agents. It is APEO-free.

BYK-1650 is a VOC-free, silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous coating systems, printing inks, overprint varnishes, and cleaning agents. It is a compatible defoamer that is easy to incorporate.

BYK-3451 is a silicone surfactant designed for aqueous printing inks, overprint varnishes, inkjet inks, coatings, adhesives, and care products. It significantly reduces surface tension, improving the wetting of aqueous systems on non-polar substrates like polyethylene and polypropylene without increasing surface slip. This product enhances substrate wetting in waterborne coatings, adhesives, and inks, and is compatible with various surfaces, including paper. It functions as a wetting agent and surfactant, offering effective surface tension reduction for diverse applications.

Omya Micro Mica W 1 - KN is a versatile industrial material primarily used in cement, ceramics, glass, ink, and rubber manufacturing, among other applications. It serves as a filler and pigment in various processes, including paper manufacturing, water treatment, and flue-gas desulfurization. The product is a white, odor-free powder made of mica from the phyllosilicate chemical family. It is suitable for use in industries such as home care (detergents and polishes), cleaning products (detergents), coatings (varnishes), and industrial cleaning.

Bionix® MBS2525 is a 2.5% solution of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one and 2.5% 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one. It is a broad-spectrum industrial microbiocide for applications including polymer latices, paints and coatings, building materials, adhesives, tackifiers, mineral slurries, and aqueous additives for household, industrial, and janitorial products. Additional uses include pet litter, metalworking fluids, and textiles or textile fiber production.

Laponite EP is a rheology additive based on an organically modified, synthetic phyllosilicate for aqueous systems. It improves the rheological properties in the low shear range.

Claytone® HY is a rheology additive based on an organophilic phyllosilicate, designed for solvent-borne systems and powder coatings.

Bionix® DB20 is a 20% solution of 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide, a fast-acting, broad-spectrum microbiocide. It controls spoilage, odor-causing, corrosion-inducing, slime-forming bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, fungi, yeast, molds, and algae in industrial process and water systems, including paper mills, industrial cooling water systems, preservation applications, equipment cleaning, and oil field processing.

BYK-011 is a silicone-free, polymer-based defoamer for aqueous coating systems, including radiation-curable systems and cleaning agents. It is particularly recommended for two-pack polyurethane systems and offers very good recoatability.

Laponite RD is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to form clear, colorless colloidal dispersions. At concentrations of 2% or greater in water, it produces highly thixotropic gels, making it an ideal gelling agent for a variety of applications. This versatile ingredient is used in ceramic glazes, surface coatings, waterborne coatings, and oilfield applications. It also functions as a texturizing agent in agrochemicals and as a cleaning agent in household and industrial cleaners. Due to its hygroscopic nature, Laponite RD can enhance the formulation's viscosity and improve stability in various systems.
