    Data Sheet
    Issue 12/2012

    BYK-320
    Silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne coating systems with a slight reduction
    of surface tension and slight increase of surface slip. Good leveling with defoaming properties;
    also recommended for ambient curing plastic systems.

    Applications

    Coatings Industry

    Special Features and Benefits


    The additive provides a slight reduction of the surface tension of coating systems and is a leveling additive with
    defoaming properties, particularly for non-polar to medium polar systems. Its defoaming effect intensifies with
    increasing polarity. BYK-320 prevents problems with ghosting and telegraphing. To prevent these defects,
    the additive must be used in the coating layer that is to be recoated.

    Recommended Use
    The additive is particularly recommended for solvent-borne coatings; however, it can also be used in aqueous systems.

    Recommended Levels
    0.05-0.6 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.

    The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined
    through a series of laboratory tests.

    Incorporation and Processing Instructions


    The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.

    Special Note
    Unlike so-called silicone oils, this additive is very user friendly. Nevertheless, before use it should be
    determined in a series of tests whether foam is stabilized in certain systems. Similarly, the recoatability
    and cratering should be checked.

    Ambient-curing Plastic Systems

    Special Features and Benefits


    The additive provides a slight reduction of the surface tension and is a leveling additive with defoaming
    properties, particularly for non-polar to medium-polar systems. Its defoaming effect intensifies with
    increasing polarity.

    Recommended Use
    The additive is recommended for all ambient curing resin systems such as unsaturated polyester
    resins and epoxy resins.

    Recommended Levels
    0.05-0.6 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.

    The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined
    through a series of laboratory tests.

    Incorporation and Processing Instructions


    The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
