Obviouslyoptimized

ShowNewsPaint India 2016, Hall 1, Booth #A2

For us at BYK, both aspects apply. Because, on the one hand, optimization is the fundamental concept behind our additives which enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the production process, and improve product

quality, thus making their contribution to cost-savings and resource conservation. On the other

hand, for over 50 years now, together with our customers we have faced the challenges of the

markets and successfully developed solutions for the future. This motivates us to keep improving

continuously.

Continuous optimization is the best strategy for lasting success. Life itself supplies so much evidence of this: Whether in nature, in sport, in the economy or in our daily routine – we experience it every day. Some have it in their DNA, others train regularly to achieve it.

DISPERBYK-2055100 % Solids Wetting & Dispersing Additive for Cost-sensitive Formulations

DISPERBYK-2055 is a high molecular-weight wetting and dis-persing additive that covers a very broad application spectrum. It enables the production of high-quality pigment concentrates that can be used to cover almost the entire polarity range of let-down binders – from long oil alkyds through to aqueous binder systems.

DISPERBYK-2055 is also extremely well suited to co-grinds, i.e. where pigment blends are used during the grinding phase. As DISPERBYK-2055 deflocculates and stabilizes both inorganic

BYK-SILCLEAN 3701Silicone-containing Surface Additive for Epoxy Systems for Long-term Improved Cleanability (Easy-to-Clean Effect)

Your Benefits

• Provides easy-to-clean properties in top coats

• Long-term effect over multiple cleaning intervals

• No negative influence on the adhesion to the substrate or primer

• Improved water repellency• Reduced carbamate formation in aminic

hardener systems• No foam stabilization• Improved leveling and surface slip• Better de-icing properties

BYK has developed a silicone-containing surface additive specifically to improve cleanability (easy-to-clean effect). BYK-SILCLEAN 3701 is a liquid product with 100 % active substances. The additive achieves a permanent effect as it reacts in the polymer matrix and as such does not lose its effectiveness over time, like other silicone-based surface additives. At the same time, BYK-SILCLEAN 3701 has no influence on the adhesion of the top coat to the substrate

and consequently does not have a negative effect on the anti-corrosion properties.

The additive is equally suitable for conventional, high-solid, and solvent-free epoxy resin systems. A further advantage is also the improvement of leveling and surface slip, as well as the lack of foam stabilization.
