By: DAVID SAVASTANO
BYK Additives and Instruments (booth 521) has a number of additives for UV market on display today. Ceraflour 1000 is a biodegradable polymer based on renewable resources with wax-like properties to improve matting and soft touch effect. Benefits of Ceraflour 1000 include: • reduction of gloss, especially in UV systems • soft touch effect • high transparency • improved scratch resistance, blocking resistance, leveling • no influence on slip • easy to incorporate • no foam stabilization • no influence on viscosity. Nanobyk-3605 is a liquid additive containing nanoparticles for solventborne and solvent-free rad-cure systems to improve scratch and abrasion resistance. Key benefits of Nanobyk-3605 include: • easy to handle • only low shear force needed for incorporation • safe access to nanotechnology (dust-free product) • improves abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, chemical resistance • no negative impact on gloss, transparency, processability. BYK-3455 is a fluorine-free silicone additive that can be used to improve substrate wetting and leveling in waterborne systems and solvent-free UV coatings. Key benefits of BYK-3455 include: In waterborne coatings: • improves substrate wetting, flow and leveling • strong reduction of static and dynamic surface tension • better pore wetting of wood substrates • no influence on intercoat adhesion • reduced picture framing /fish eyes • no increase in slip • no foam stabilization in solvent-free UV coatings: • improved substrate wetting, flow and leveling • no foam stabilization.
