Special Features and Benefits
The additive provides a slight reduction of the surface tension of coating systems. BYK-322 is a silicone leveling additive which does not stabilize foam and in many systems has a defoaming effect. It is thermostable up to 250 °C and does not negatively impact intercoat adhesion.
Recommended Use
The additive is particularly recommended for all solvent-borne coatings.
Recommended Levels
0.01-0.4% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series
of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
Special Note
Unlike with so-called silicone oils, this additive is very user-friendly. Nevertheless, before use it should be determined in a series of tests whether foam is stabilized in certain systems. Similarly, the recoatability and cratering should be checked.
