BYK-326

BYK 326 is a silicone-containing surface additive that provides a slight reduction in surface tension and a slight increase in surface slip. It is particularly suitable for good leveling. BYK 326 causes only a slight reduction in the surface tension of formulations and has a positive effect on leveling. As a result of its broad compatibility, the high transparency of most clear formulations is maintained and it can therefore be easily used in clear coatings, for example. Due to its special molecular structure, BYK 326 does not crystallize, even under -18 °C, which makes it easy to use at low temperatures. BYK 326 is recommended for all solvent-borne, aqueous, and 100% formulations. It combines high transparency, improved substrate wetting, and mild defoaming properties.
