Products

BYK-019 is a silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous pigment concentrates used in coatings, printing inks, and overprint varnishes. It prevents foam during grinding and provides long-term and shear stability, making it particularly suitable for resin-free grinds or slurries.

Hakuenka​® CC - R is a precipitated calcium carbonate coated with fatty acids to improve dispersion in organic binders. Hakuenka® CCR is used to modify and control the rheology of sealants and adhesives based on polyurethane, silicone, hybrid polymers, polysulfide, and butyl, as well as in PVC or acrylic plastisols. Hakuenka® CCR improves sag and slump resistance and enhances reinforcing properties. It is also used in printing inks, rubber, and plastics applications.

Viscoexcel® 30 SG is an ultrafine precipitated calcium carbonate with primary particles of 30 nm. The particles are homogeneously coated with fatty acids to ensure good dispersibility in organic media. Viscoexcel® 30 - SG is used to control rheology in adhesives and sealants, providing high viscosity at low shear and good workability due to its shear-thinning effect at high viscosity. It also enhances the mechanical properties of structural adhesives.

BYK-331 is a silicone surface additive for solvent-borne, solvent-free, and aqueous coatings and printing inks. It provides a medium reduction in surface tension and a medium increase in surface slip.

Claytone® AF is a powdered rheology additive based on organophilic phyllosilicate, designed to impart thixotropic flow behavior in non-polar to medium-polarity systems. It is highly effective in wood coatings, powder coatings, and printing inks, offering excellent filler settling resistance and preventing pigment settling. Additionally, it provides good leveling and is compatible with wood surfaces. As a rheology modifier, Claytone® AF is a member of the phyllosilicates chemical family.

DISPERBYK® 2118 is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solventborne and solvent-free pigment concentrates, as well as printing inks. It is particularly effective for dispersing carbon blacks and phthalocyanine pigments, making it ideal for flexography, gravure, and solventborne inks. This additive reduces viscosity and functions as both a wetting agent and dispersant, enhancing dispersion and stability in ink formulations. DISPERBYK® 2118 is suitable for high-solids coatings and a variety of ink applications, offering improved performance in both solventborne and solvent-free systems.

Teckrez® CX-902 is a hydrocarbon resin derived from selected C9 and DCPD feedstocks. It enhances hardness, gloss, and chemical resistance as an alkyd coating modifier. In printing inks, it improves pigment wetting and solvent release. It also functions as a rubber processing aid, a tackifier resin in mastic adhesives, and a modifier in concrete curing and other coating applications.

TECKROS® HRL is a methyl ester of hydrogenated gum rosin with excellent oxidative and heat stability. It serves as an adhesive tackifier, fragrance fixative, and modifier in cosmetics, lacquers, inks, rubber, and plastics.

Aquamat® 263 is a matting wax dispersion based on oxidized HDPE, designed to enhance surface properties in aqueous coatings, printing inks, and overprint coatings.

BYK-044 is a silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous printing inks, overprint varnishes, and cleaning agents.

Hakuenka CCR - S is a precipitated calcium carbonate coated with fatty acids in order to improve the dispersion in organic binders. Hakuenka CCR - S is used to modify and control the rheology of sealants and adhesives based on polyurethane, silicone and hybrid polymers. Hakuenka CCR - S improves sag and slump resistance and renders reinforcing properties. Hakuenka CCR - S has excellent heat stability

BYK-3760 is a silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne, aqueous, and UV coating systems as well as printing inks. It provides a strong reduction in surface tension, increased surface slip, and minor foam stabilization.

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.

BYK-348 is a silicone surfactant for aqueous coatings, adhesives, printing inks, and overprint varnishes. It reduces surface tension, enhancing substrate wetting without increasing surface slip. Suitable for systems without co-solvents, it functions as a surfactant in waterborne coatings, adhesives, and inks, and belongs to the silicone chemical family.

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.
