BYK-315 N

Silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne coating systems, in particular automotive coatings. Slight reduction in the surface tension and slight increase in surface slip. No blushing after water immersion test. BYK-315 N replaces BYK-315. The additive causes just a slight lowering of the surface tension of coating systems. It therefore improves the flow and leveling and in some formulations also has a defoaming effect. The formation of Bénard cells is also prevented and gloss is increased. The additive displays no blushing in clear coats after water immersion tests. Recommended for automotive and general industrial coatings. Also suitable for architectural coatings and protective coating systems.
