Byk -051 BYK Chemie Defoamer / Antifoaming agent >> Silicone-free >> Polymeric Inks >> Solvent-based Coatings >> Solventborne Coatings >> Solvent-Free/ High-Solids INKS Marine /Anti-Corrosive / Protective Architectural / Decorative Automotive OEM Automotive refinishing Can Coating Coil Coating General Industrial /Maintenance Wood & Furniture Coatings White spirit/glycolic acid butylester/butylglycol (71/8/1) Byk® -051 is solution of foam destroying polymers, silicone-free. Silicone-free defoamer to prevent foam formation during production, filling, and application of solvent-based coatings. BYK®-051 displays spontaneous defoaming properties and demonstrates no negative influence on intercoat adhesion when overcoated. This defoamer is the most compatible defoamer in the BYK®-051 / BYK®-052 / BYK®-053 family. It exhibits optimal efficiency in polar systems; in non-polar systems the defoaming is less pronounced. Due to its excellent compatibility it will not reduce transparency in clears; and even in sensitive formulations, it will not create craters. It is used in industrial, automotive, protective, architectural, wood and furniture and can/coil coatings and printing inks. Solution of foam destroying polymers, silicone-free. Used in industrial, automotive, protective, architectural, wood and furniture and coil coatings. Prevents foam formation.
