Significantly enhanced expansion performance! A water-based surface modifier that improves wettability on very low polarity substrates.
"BYK-3450/BYK-3451" is a water-based surface modifier that significantly reduces surface tension without increasing slip properties and improves wettability on very low polarity substrates. Based on a trisiloxane developed by BYK, the two additives "BYK-3450" and "BYK-3451" provide good wettability even on very challenging substrates, while also offering significant expansion performance. Compared to general-purpose silicone surfactants, these two additives contribute little to foam stabilization, thereby improving processability and paintability. 【Features】 ■ Excellent diffusibility and wettability ■ Significant reduction in surface tension ■ Minimal foam stabilization compared to general-purpose silicone *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
