DESCRIPTION OF BYK 354:
BYK 354 is a polyacrylate-based, surface additive.
BYK 354 is used as an anti-cratering & leveling additive, increases gloss and also has a deaerating effect as a result of its high molecular weight and non-polar structure.
This thermally stable BYK 354 only reduces surface tension slightly.
BYK 354 is recommended for all ambient curing resin systems such as unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy resins.
The recommended level is 0.1-1.5% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
Polyacrylate-based surface additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free coatings, for UV-curing printing inks and overprint varnishes and ambient curing plastic systems.
Standard leveling additive with a deaerating effect.
BYK 354 is a solution of a polyacrylate.
BYK 354 improves leveling and gloss.
BYK 354 produces a long wave effect and avoid cratering in the system.
BYK 354 does not negatively influence recoatability or intercoat adhesion.
Surface tension is only slightly reduced.
BYK 354 is thermally stable.
Due to BYK 354's high molecular weight and its unpolar structure, BYK 354 has both leveling and air release properties.
BYK 354 provides superior ant-slipping effects for coatings and print inks.
BYK 354 additives yield coatings and print inks with excellent wetting and dispersion properties.
BYK 354 improves scratch-resistance and matting in liquid, powder, and paper coatings.
BYK 354 acts as an anti-crater and leveling agent for solvent-free and solvent-borne systems.
BYK 354 improves leveling and gloss.
BYK 354 provides a long wave levelling performance.
BYK 354 avoids cratering.
BYK 354 reduces surface tension slightly.
BYK 354 displays degassing properties.
BYK 354 shows a very wide compatibility with many coating systems.
BYK 354 exhibits thermal stability.
BYK 354 is used in solvent-borne and solvent-free coatings and in printing inks, overprint varnishes.
APPLICATIONS OF BYK 354:
-Special Features and Benefits:
BYK 354 is used as an anti-cratering and leveling additive, increases gloss and gives a long wave effect.
BYK 354 only provides a minor reduction of the surface tension and does not negatively influence the recoating/overprinting capabilities and intercoat adhesion.
As a result of its high molecular weight and its non-polar structure it also has a deaerating effect.
BYK 354 is thermally stable.
-Recommended Use:
BYK 354 is recommended for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems, UV-curing printing inks and overprint varnishes.
-Recommended Levels:
0.1-1.5% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation.
Optimal levels are determined through a series of tests.
-Incorporation and Processing Instructions
BYK 354 can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
Better deaeration can be achieved by adding to the mill base.
