BYK-342 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free, and aqueous coating systems. It provides a strong reduction in surface tension, enhances substrate wetting, prevents cratering, and increases surface slip. This product is ideal for waterborne, solventless, and high solids coatings and belongs to the silicone chemical family.

BYK-306 is a silicone-containing surface additive for ambient-curing plastic systems and solvent-borne coating systems. It provides a strong reduction of surface tension, excellent substrate wetting, prevents cratering, and increases surface slip.

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.

Armoslip® CP is a refined oleamide with low color and low water content, offering excellent slip effects and moderate anti-blocking performance. It is commonly used as a slip additive in polyethylene (PE) film applications, improving processing characteristics and reducing friction. It also provides excellent flow properties, scratch resistance, and adhesion. Armoslip® CP can be used as a lubricant, defoamer, and dye solubilizer, and is compatible with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polypropylene (PP) resins. This product is part of the fatty acid amides chemical family and is available in both bead and powder forms.

Optigel WX is a rheology additive based on activated phyllosilicate, designed for aqueous systems and mineral pre-mix mortars to impart thixotropic flow behavior. It offers high sagging resistance, excellent adhesion properties, and anti-settling characteristics. Suitable for a wide range of applications, including wood coatings, flooring adhesives, acrylic sealants, kitchen cleaners, and waterborne coatings. It is hydrophilic, highly thixotropic, and provides excellent storage stability and electrolyte tolerance. Optigel WX is compatible with acrylates and works over a wide pH range. Available in powder form.

BYK-UV 3570 is a crosslinking, silicone-containing surface additive for radiation-curable coatings. It reduces surface tension and increases surface slip.

BYK-327 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free, radiation-curable, and aqueous systems. It improves leveling and provides a defoaming effect in floor coatings.

BYK-P 104 S is a controlled flocculating wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne, medium- to high-polarity coatings. It prevents flooding and floating of titanium dioxide in combination with colored pigments and contains silicone to enhance flooding and floating behavior.

BYK-378 is a solvent-free silicone surface additive for aqueous, solvent-borne, and solvent-free coatings and adhesives. It increases surface slip, significantly reduces surface tension, and has minor foam stabilization with low dosage requirements.

Cerafak® 127N is a dispersion of Fischer-Tropsch wax for solvent-borne coil coatings and architectural coatings, designed to improve surface characteristics.

Aquacer® 8032 is an aqueous emulsion formulated from HD polyethylene wax. It enhances surface properties in waterborne coatings and floor polishes, providing excellent scratch resistance, scuff resistance, rub resistance, and improved slip. This product is ideal for use as a surface modifier in coatings and home care applications. It is available in Canada, the USA, and Mexico. Aquacer® 8032 belongs to the high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyolefins, and polyethylene waxes chemical families.

Aquacer® 531 is a wax emulsion based on modified polyethylene designed to improve surface properties in aqueous coatings, printing inks, and dry lubricants. It also functions as an anti-caking additive for thermoplastics and hot-melt adhesives.

Aquacer® 8330 is a paraffin-based wax emulsion designed for use in aqueous systems. It enhances outdoor durability and improves water repellency in waterborne coatings. This product belongs to the paraffin waxes chemical family and is supplied as an emulsion.
