| BYK®-323 | BYK | BYK®-323 is an aralkyl modified polymethylalkylsiloxane. This product acts in a defoaming fashion (i.e., no or only slight foam stabilization), depending on the polarity of the paint system. It is heat resistant up to 250°C and does not decrease intercoat adhesion when overcoated. In wood and furniture coatings, BYK-323 is used to orient the flatting agent in flat topcoats and in multi-coat systems. Even in difficult to flat high-solids polyurethane, acid curing and unsaturated polyester coatings, the use of BYK-323 does not lead to shining up. In addition, optimal orientation of the flatting agent is achieved. In flow coat systems, BYK-323 provides a stable curtain. In industrial coatings, BYK-323 supports the orientation of flatting agents...view more BYK®-323 is an aralkyl modified polymethylalkylsiloxane.

It hydrates and swells in water to give translucent and colourless colloidal liquid dispersions known as sols. At 25% solids concentration in water, these will remain free flowing for up to 1 year. On addition of small quantities of electrolyte, or on addition to formulations containing e.g. resins, surfactants or pigments, highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly. It is used to impart a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations including DIY and industrial surface coatings, household cleaners, ceramic and agrochemical products. view less | Request Sample |
