BYK®-Silclean

BYK-Chemie

BYK®-SILCLEAN 3700 (for solvent-borne systems) and BYK®-Silclean 3720 (for aqueous systems) orientate to the paint surface. There they can be crosslinked into the polymer network due to their OH functionality and are therefore fixed at the paint surface. These additives improve substrate wetting, leveling, surface slip, water resistance (blush resistance), anti-blocking properties and weather resistance. Additionally, these additives improve dirt release and ease of cleaning of the coating surface.


BYK®-SILCLEAN 3710 (for solvent-free and water-borne UV-coatings) orientates into the paint surface where it is crosslinked with the polymer network due to its acrylate functionality. It improves dirt release and ease of cleaning of the coating surface and can be used to improve anti-graffiti and tape release properties.
