BYK-320
Solution of a polyether modified methylalkylpolysiloxane copolymer
Silicone levelling additive with defoaming action.
It improves the surface properties of solvent-based coatings, with particular emphasis upon levelling.
Causing only a slight surface tension reduction, in contrast to most silicone additives it does not stabilize foam and can even impart defoaming action.
BYK-320 is particularly suitable for non-polar to medium-polar paint systems.
Its defoaming activity rises with increasing coating polarity.
BYK-320 increases surface slip and thus improves scratch and mar resistance.
Formation of B?ard cells is prevented and orientation of flatting agents is improved.
In automotive and industrial coatings, BYK-320 will not exhibit problems with ghosting and telegraphing.
To avoid these effects, the additive must be present in the paint which has to be overcoated.
