BYK 1790 is a silicone-free, polymer-based additive suitable for solvent-free, radiation-curing systems. BYK 1790 prevents foaming in pigmented and unpigmented formulations. It has no negative effect on the properties of the final product. BYK 1790 significantly reduces evacuation times, improving production efficiency. BYK 1790 is recommended for use in applications where high efficiency defoaming is required without impacting other properties like opacity, gloss or surface quality.
