typical materialized data

The data given on this data page are typical values ​​only, not Product technical indicators.

Storage and Shipping

The temperature is below 5 °C May develop stratification or cloudiness, Heat to 20 °C and mix well.

room temperature curing plastic system

Features and Benefits: BYK-306 is a high-efficiency silicone additive, which can significantly reduce the surface tension, thus improving the resistance to wet Wetting of wet substrates. When used in pigment filled systems
Prevents Bernard vortices and improves leveling.

Recommended Apps

BYK-306 Recommended for polyurethane and epoxy systems.

recommended dosage

0.1-0.5 % Adjuvant dosage (as purchased) based on total Recipe

The above data is the empirical dosage, the optimal dosage needs to pass a test series of tests determined.

Addition method and processing guidance

The additive can be added at any stage of the production process , can also be added later.
The additive can be added at the end of production to avoid foam stabilization and has proven to be very effective.

Special attention

Compared with silicone oil, this additive is safer to use. However, it should still be tested whether surface defects occur in the corresponding system before large-scale use.

Paint Industry

Features and Benefits: This organosilicon additive significantly reduces the surface tension of the coating system and can effectively wet difficult-to-wet substrates. BYK-306 Improve protection against dust andAcceptance of paint mist and increase surface slip. The additive reduces the sensitivity of wood and furniture coatings to drafts and improves the orientation of matting agents.

Recommended Apps

This additive can be used in all solvent-based systems.
