Formulated without volatile organic compounds, BYK 024 meets environmental regulations and supports sustainable formulation development.

Application Areas of BYK 024

Waterborne Latex Paints

In latex paint formulations, BYK 024 demonstrates excellent defoaming performance, effectively preventing the formation and accumulation of air bubbles.

Printing Inks

Suitable for waterborne acrylic/polyurethane and polyurethane systems, as well as water-based UV-curable inks, BYK 024 helps enhance print quality and ink stability.

Clear Topcoats

When used in clear coat applications, BYK 024 ensures a bubble-free finish, contributing to improved gloss and overall aesthetic quality.

Emulsion Adhesives

BYK 024 is also effective in waterborne emulsion adhesives, improving both bonding strength and formulation stability by minimizing foam formation.

Usage Considerations of BYK 024

• Ensure compatibility between BYK 024 and the specific waterborne system before use.

  
  

• Avoid storage and use under extreme temperature conditions (high heat or freezing), as this may impair defoaming efficiency.

  
  

• In case of any technical issues or uncertainties during use, contact your supplier for guidance.
