Function
These additives provide a medium reduction of the surface tension of paint systems.
They increase surface slip as well as improve leveling and gloss. Silicone additives prevent formation of Bénard cells. These addi-
tives also improve substrate wetting and give anti-blocking properties.

BYK-300 Standard surface additive in the coatings industry for all solvent-borne systems.
Active substance identical to that of BYK-300. Due to the solvent used (butyl glycol), particularly suitable for
BYK-301
aqueous coatings.
Solvent-free version of BYK-300. Especially used in systems in which solvent-free additives are requested or
BYK-302
where a requirement for a special solvent exists.
BYK-331 is used in all solvent-borne, solvent-free and aqueous coatings. In two-component polyurethane
BYK-331
systems, it can also be added to the isocyanate hardener.
BYK-335 BYK-335 displays similar properties as BYK-300. It is used in all coating systems as surface additive.
Special Note
In comparison to silicone oils these additives are „user friendly“. Through a series of tests, however, it should be ascertained as
to whether foam is being stabilized by these additives before large-scale application starts. Also, the recoatability and cratering
should be evaluated.
