★Sustainable Bio-Based Wax-like Polymers @BYK-CERAFLOUR-1000 Series Manufactured from renewable raw materials. 【CERAFLOUR 1000】 A biodegradable micronized polymer with wax-like properties derived from renewable raw materials. Suitable for water-based, solvent-based, solvent-free, and UV systems. Aims to enhance surface protection and soft touch effects, as well as matting. Improves surface protection and soft feel effects. 【CERAFLOUR 1003】 A starch-based polymer that achieves slight surface texture and optimal transparency. Provides excellent matting effects from different angles. 【CERAFLOUR 1004】 Achieves subtle matting effects and high transparency through a fine particle structure. A starch-based polymer that delivers a smooth, soft, and silk-like texture.

★Release paper surface modifiers and defoamers In recent years, the transition from solvent-based to water-based systems has gained significant importance. In water-based systems, the following issues frequently arise: • Low wettability of release paper • Entrapment of bubbles BYK-349 and BYK-093 are examples of additives that can solve these problems. 【BYK-349】 A silicone-based surfactant with a significant ability to reduce surface tension, improving the wettability of the substrate. It does not contribute to improved slip properties on the surface. Suitable for systems that do not contain co-solvents. General-purpose product. 【BYK-093】 Water-based defoamer • Applicable to a wide range of uses • Excellent long-term stability (during high and low-temperature storage) • Fewer surface defects (cloudiness, crater-like defects, etc.) due to high compatibility • Easy to mix, recommended for post-addition • Can be used in combination with other defoamers • APEO-free, formaldehyde-free (VdL RL-03), low VOC

■A wetting dispersant that contributes to advancing filler dispersion and increasing filling rate 【Dispersing and stabilizing pigments and fillers in thermoplastic resins - BYK-MAX D 4221】 ■A surface modifier that can control both coating liquid properties and film properties due to its unique molecular structure 【Superhydrophilicity of film surfaces - BYK-3558, BYK-3560, BYK-3565, BYK-3566, BYK-3568】 ■A defoamer and deaerator that is free of fluorine and silicone 【BYK-397】 ■A nanoparticle dispersion that enables scratch resistance and internal stress relief 【Scratch resistance and surface protection in UV curing systems - BYK-UV 3518, BYK-UV 3519】 ■Inorganic particles with rheology control functions and gas barrier properties 【LAPONITE】
