Defoamers often contain fluorinated silicone to achieve rapid defoaming effects naturally. BYK is expanding its lineup to offer PFAS-free sustainable defoamers as alternatives to fluorinated silicone-based defoamers. BYK-1810, BYK-1811, BYK-1815, BYK-1816, BYK-1818 These five new additives demonstrate high defoaming efficiency and excellent spontaneous defoaming properties comparable to PFAS-containing products, while being completely free of fluorine. These additives can be used in a wide range of solvent-based and solvent-free applications.

✓ BYK's unique processing aid masterbatch ■BYK-MAX P 4109 PFAS-free ■BYK-MAX P 4110 PFAS and silicone-free By reducing the melt viscosity of the compound and the friction resistance with the extrusion die, the appearance quality of extruded products can be improved, leading to increased productivity. - Quick startup of good products (reduction of startup loss) - Increased discharge volume (improved productivity) - Reduced cleaning time for resin (reduction of time loss and labor) - Reduced resin changeover time (reduction of lost time)

You can choose from a wide range of additives for automotive (OEM, aftermarket) paints. - Electrodeposition coating - Primer surfacer - One-coat topcoat (solid color) - Base coat - Clear coat

For Coatings This is a very effective silicone additive that significantly reduces the surface tension of coatings and is highly effective on substrates that are difficult to wet. It improves the acceptability of dust and spray mist and enhances the surface slip. It reduces the impact of air drafts on wood and furniture coatings and promotes the orientation of matting agents. For Thermosetting Resins BYK-3765 is a highly effective silicone additive that powerfully lowers surface tension and improves the wettability of essential substrates. In pigment systems, it can prevent the formation of Benard cells and improve leveling properties.

★Hydrophilicity in High Solid Content Polyurethane Compositions High solid content polyurethane (HS PU) is gaining popularity as an alternative to solvent-based systems (DMF coagulation process) and PVC plastisol. The potential applications of HS PU include the manufacturing of coated fabrics for footwear and clothing. To provide comfort and optimal performance during sports activities, it is important to absorb moisture generated by the body. 【BYK-P 9911】 enhances hydrophilicity and moisture absorption. 【BYK-P 9911】 Features - Hydrophilic additive: High compatibility with HS PU and PUD - Improved moisture absorption enhances comfort during sports activities.

【AQUACER 492】 It applies hydrophobic treatment to all types of textile fibers, creating a water-repellent effect. This product does not negatively affect water vapor permeability, ensuring good breathability of the textile. Furthermore, it achieves a much softer textile compared to some synthetic polymer-based hydrophobing agents. • Exhibits excellent water repellency • Maintains breathability • Soft texture of fibers • Easy incorporation • Free from microplastics, silicones, and PFAS
