Silicone-free defoamer to prevent foam formation during production, filling, and application of solvent-based coatings. BYK®-053 displays spontaneous defoaming properties and demonsrates no negative influence on intercoat adhesion when overcoated. BYK®-053 is the product with the highest incompatibility in the group of BYK®-051 / BYK®-052 / BYK®-053 and therefore demonstrates the best defoaming performance in polar as well as in non-polar systems. BYK®-053 features a fast and spontaneous foam destroying action even at low dosages. Possible reduction of the transparency in clear systems along with the additive's effect upon cratering must be evaluated. It is used in industrial, automotive, protective, architectural, can, coil, wood and furniture coatings. Silicone-free solution of foam destroying polymers. Used in industrial, automotive, protective, architectural, can, coil, wood and furniture coatings. Prevents foam formation. Offers spontaneous defoaming properties.
