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.
