BYK 1799 is a highly effective silicone-based additive that provides excellent defoaming properties. BYK 1799 displays spontaneous defoaming and is effective against both macro- and microfoam. Even at low dosages, BYK 1799 has powerful defoaming capabilities, making it particularly suitable for applications that have a tendency towards foam stabilization. BYK 1799 is characterized by being highly effective in high-solids and solvent-free systems commonly used in the industry. BYK 1799 allows for a smooth and uniform application process while preventing foam related defects.
