Surface-active additive BYK-3568 that increases surface energy
Solvent-based, 100%, and surface modifiers that increase the surface energy of UV coatings, achieving effective wetting of substrates and good leveling.
BYK-3568 is a surface-active additive that moderately reduces the surface tension of paint liquids, particularly solvent-based industrial and automotive paints. This contributes to improved wettability on substrates and helps prevent cratering. When the paint cures, BYK-3568 increases not only the surface slip properties but also the surface energy. This can have a positive effect on the wettability and adhesion of subsequent coatings, printing inks, labels, or adhesives. BYK-3568 has been developed for solvent-based, 100%, and UV systems. Its compatibility with water-based systems largely depends on mutual solubility. - Significant reduction in surface tension of paint liquids – equivalent effect to moderately active silicone - Contributes to good recoatability by increasing surface energy in the cured film, suppressing adverse effects on labels, printing inks, and adhesives - Improves wettability of the top layer when water-based paints are applied over it, ideal for two-tone painting - Good leveling properties, high surface slip (low surface slip COF) - Suitable for solvent-based, non-solvent-based, and UV systems; also suitable for water-based systems if mutual solubility is good.
