BYK 3560 is a silicone- and fluorine-free surface additive that increases the surface energy of cured materials. BYK 3560 enables improved adhesion of subsequent layers through increased surface polarity. It allows for excellent leveling of topcoats and maintains high transparency in clear coats. BYK 3560 can be used in aqueous, solvent-borne, UV-curable, and high-solid systems. When added to coatings, BYK 3560 enhances adhesion of subsequent finishing layers. It provides a more effective surface for wetting and application of topcoats, resulting in a superior final appearance.
