This defoamer is free of ethoxylates and alkylphenols, making it an eco-friendly choice for formulations. It is easy to incorporate into formulations and offers excellent performance in foam control, ensuring smooth application in waterborne coatings, inks, and adhesives. BYK-1724 is particularly effective in roller, pour, and spray application methods. The defoamer ensures excellent compatibility and long-term efficiency, contributing to high-quality end products.

Reactol™ 1717H is a Lawter™ polyketone resin characterized by its pale color and high alcohol solubility. With a high melt point, it provides enhanced heat and blocking resistance compared to other resins in its group. Its unique chemistry imparts high polarity, improving adhesion, pigment wetting, and gloss. Reactol™ 1717H also features the fastest solvent release among polyketone resins.

BYK-Catalyst 450 is a blocked acid catalyst for aqueous and solvent-borne coating systems. It accelerates the cross-linking of amino resins with hydroxyl-containing resins, helping to reduce baking temperature and time. This liquid catalyst is effective in both waterborne and solventborne coatings, including varnishes, and contains 2-methoxypropanol, propylene glycol methyl ether, and pyridine as key components.

Ceraflour® 950 is a micronized wax based on modified HDPE for solvent-borne and solvent-free coatings, printing inks, and powder coatings. It improves scratch resistance, provides a soft-feel effect, and offers matting properties. The additive is particularly suitable for radiation-curable formulations.

BYK-313 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne coating systems, providing strong surface tension reduction, excellent substrate wetting, crater prevention, and increased surface slip. It is particularly suited for baking systems and is thermally stable up to 230 °C. This is an aromatic-free alternative to BYK-310.

BYK-088 is a defoamer based on silicones and polymers for solvent-free and solvent-borne coatings, printing inks, thermosets, adhesives, and sealants.

BYK-P 104 is a solution of a low molecular weight unsaturated polycarboxylic acid polymer. It serves as a dispersant and wetting agent, enhancing sagging resistance and flooding resistance. It is suitable for various applications, including solventborne coatings, primers, wood coatings, coil coatings, and coatings requiring anti-settling and floating resistance.

Filtrez™ 530 is a rosins ester-based product in flake form. It complies with multiple regulatory requirements, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, the Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 112, California Proposition 65, CERCLA, and SARA 311/312. It is listed in the TSCA (USA) chemical inventory.

BYK-093 is a VOC-free, silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous coatings, adhesives, lubricants, and cleaning and care products. It is universally applicable and easy to incorporate.

Incozol™ 4 is a bis-oxazolidine curing agent that hydrolyzes upon exposure to moisture, releasing a reactive amine and hydroxyl functional cross-linking agent. It is suitable for both one- and two-component polyurethane systems. In one-component systems, it is typically used with aliphatic prepolymers, while in two-component systems, it can also be paired with aromatic prepolymers or isocyanates.
