It also serves as a process additive for thermoset resin systems and polishes, including Pickering emulsions.

BYK-347 is a silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, printing inks, and overprint varnishes. It significantly reduces surface tension, improving substrate wetting without increasing surface slip. It is suitable for systems without co-solvents and offers excellent recoatability in thin layers, particularly in automotive coatings.

DISPERBYK® 108 is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne coatings, printing inks, and pigment concentrates. It is the solvent-free version of DISPERBYK® 107.

BYK-1719 is a VOC-free silicone defoamer for aqueous printing inks and overprint varnishes, offering a spontaneous defoaming effect and high efficiency. It is glycol-free.

Setaprint™ 999 A is a low-viscosity phenolic-modified rosin ester in flake form, offering high solubility in aliphatic solvents. It provides excellent pigment wetting properties and enables low solution viscosity in high-solids vehicles. This binder and resin is used in offset ink formulations and complies with TSCA (USA) and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 standards.

BYK-370 is a polyester-modified, silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne coating systems and UP gel coats. It is OH-functional and effectively reduces surface tension while offering good leveling, improved substrate wetting, and excellent weather resistance. Additionally, it provides solvent resistance, good antiblocking properties, and is compatible with wood substrates. It is in liquid form and contains various chemical components such as ethylbenzene, cyclohexanone, 2-phenoxyethanol, and xylene.

BYK-3456 is a fluorine-free, silicone-containing additive that enhances substrate wetting and leveling in aqueous systems and solvent-free UV coatings.

BYK-UV 3500 is a crosslinking, silicone-containing surface additive for radiation-curable printing inks, coatings, and adhesives. It significantly reduces surface tension, provides excellent substrate wetting and tape release, increases surface slip, and improves leveling.

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.

BYK-377 is a silicone surface additive for solvent-free, radiation-curable, and solvent-borne coatings, adhesives, and printing inks. It provides a strong reduction in surface tension and is hydroxy-functional and solvent-free. Suitable for coil coatings, wood coatings, varnishes, and can coatings, it improves substrate wetting and is compatible with wood surfaces. This product is also effective for screen printing, flexography, and offset inks, and cures via radiation. It is in liquid form and complies with chemical inventories in both Canada (DSL) and the USA (TSCA).
