Function
These additives orient to the paint surface and can be crosslinked into the polymer network due to their reactivity, and are therefore fixed at the paint surface. These additives improve slip, solvent resistance, weather resistance, anti-blocking and provide less dirt retention. When crosslinked to the paint surface by their reactive groups, the aforementioned properties are maintained for a longer duration in the paint system than what can be achieved with standard, non-reactive silicones. These additives reduce surface tension and thus improve substrate wetting. They also improve flow and leveling and avoid Bnard cell formation.

Special Note
BYK-370 BYK-371 BYK-373 BYK-375 If these additives are used in paint systems in which the reactive groups are crosslinked into the polymer network, please note the following: Before recoating, the surface has to be sanded carefully and uniformly to ensure sufficient adhesion. In exterior coatings, the additives are removed (together with the uppermost layer of the resin) relatively quickly from the coating surface due to the normal weathering process. With the above conditions in mind, the longterm effectiveness of the particular binder system (in combination with the additive) must be evaluated. Due to its OH-functionality, BYK-375 retains its excellent properties (such as high surface slip) even after sterilization/pasteurization, as is the case with many aqueous can coatings for exterior use. BYK-377 is OH-functional.
