BYK 014 is a VOC-free, silicone-free polymer-based additive that acts as an effective defoamer. BYK 014 provides optimum performance at the lowest dosage levels. It is especially suitable for applications where foam control is required during production and application processes. BYK 014 exhibits high stability to acids and alkalis and can be used in a wide pH range. BYK 014 is recommended for use in formulations where a defoamer is needed that is free of silicones and mineral oils. BYK 014 allows for the production of high quality end products with minimal foam issues.
