BYK-UV 3590 is a crosslinking, silicone-containing surface additive for radiation-curing printing inks and overprint varnishes for reducing tape adhesion (improving tape release), increasing surface slip and creating structural effects.

OPTIGEL WH is produced from natural, colloidal aluminum silicate by a unique process. The high purity and consistent viscosity of OPTIGEL WH are made possible by our selective mining and rigid process control from the crude ore to the finished product. OPTIGEL WH is thixotropic in nature. It is most beneficial when it is used in combination with other rheological additives to produce the desired rheological properties in a paint system. Suitable co-thickeners include cellulosics, alkali swellables, and urethane thickeners

DISPERBYK-2030 is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-free UV-curable printing inks and inkjet inks. It is suitable for all pigment types.

BYK-1789 is a solvent-free, silicone-containing defoamer for aqueous, high build and fast-drying coating systems and adhesives.
