Products

Aquacer® 497 is a paraffin-based wax emulsion for aqueous coatings, printing inks, care products, and polishes. It enhances water repellency, surface slip, and serves as a lubricant in aqueous glass fiber sizing.

TECKROS® M130 is a maleic-modified glycerol ester of rosin designed for nitrocellulose lacquers, overprint varnishes, enamels, and gravure printing inks. It provides high softening point, hardness, gloss, and adhesion.

BYK-3550 is a substrate wetting and leveling agent based on a silicone acrylate copolymer for solvent-borne coating systems. It significantly reduces surface tension while enhancing substrate wetting and maintaining excellent recoatability. It also offers anti-cratering properties, functioning as both a wetting and leveling agent. Suitable for coil and can coatings, it is in liquid form.

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-066 N is a silicone-based defoamer suitable for solvent-free and solvent-borne coatings, printing inks, and ambient-curing plastic systems based on epoxy resins and polyurethane. It is a standard defoamer for solvent-borne systems, offering a good balance of effectiveness and compatibility.

BYK-024 is a VOC-free, silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous emulsion lacquers, printing inks, overprint varnishes, and emulsion adhesives. It is an all-purpose, compatible defoamer that is easy to incorporate.

Ceraflour® 920 is a micronized organic polymer for solvent-borne and aqueous coatings and printing inks, providing matting effects. In UV-curable powder coatings, it improves surface hardness and enhances matting.

BYK-1797 is a silicone-containing, highly effective defoamer and air release agent for solvent-borne, high-solid, and solvent-free 100% UV printing inks, overprint varnishes, and PUR-based thermosets. 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.

Teckros® AF128 is a fumaric-modified rosin ester designed for alcohol-based flexographic and gravure "E" type printing inks. It has high acid functionality, ensuring solubility in amines and aqueous ammonia, making it suitable for waterborne flexographic and gravure inks. The product is compatible with modified rosins, polyketone, nitrocellulose, and shellac. It meets FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and FDA 21 CFR 175.105 certifications.

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.

Dura XL-DRI is a drying agent, adhesion promoter, and coupling agent used in solventborne and waterborne coatings, paints, and various ink types, including printing inks. It enhances the adhesion between different surfaces, improves curing properties, and accelerates the drying process in coatings and ink formulations.

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.
