Application Information

paint industry

Features and Benefits: This additive significantly reduces the surface tension of coating systems, thereby improving substrate wetting and preventing cratering. Can increase surface slip and improve gloss.
BYK-310 is a thermally stable silicone additive that, unlike conventional silicones, does not thermally decompose between 150 °C and 230 °C. As a result, there are no problems with reduced adhesion or surface defects during recoating, which are often caused by thermal decomposition of conventional silicones above 150 °C.

  Recommended Applications  

The additive is especially recommended for solvent-borne coatings, but can also be used in solvent-free systems.

Recommended dosage

0.05-0.3 % Auxiliary dosage (as purchased) is based on the total formulation. The dosage can reach 0.5 % in solvent-free systems.

The above data are empirical dosages, and the optimal dosage needs to be determined through a series of experiments.

Incorporation Method and Processing Instructions

The adjuvant can be added at any stage in the production process and can also be added later.

  pay attention  

Compared with silicone oil, the additive is safe to use. However, it should still be tested whether there will be foam stabilization problems in the corresponding system. Recoatability, silicone migration, and tendency to crater should also be tested.
