BYK-3760

Silicone-containing surface additive for solvent-borne, aqueous and UV coating systems as well as printing inks. Strong reduction of the surface tension and increased surface slip with minor foam stabilisation. The additive provides a strong reduction in the surface tension of printing inks. It therefore especially improves substrate wetting and prevents cratering. BYK-3760 greatly increases surface slip and the coating benefits from a higher scratch resistance. The product stabilises foam much less than other highly active additives that contain silicone. BYK-3760 is also effective at a lower dosage. The additive is particularly recommended for all solvent-borne, aqueous, and UV printing inks.
