BYK-023 is a VOC-free silicone-containing defoamer that provides excellent foam control for aqueous emulsion systems. BYK-023 works effectively at low dosage levels between 0.05-0.8% and ensures a uniform dispersion within formulations through its high compatibility. As a multi-functional additive, BYK-023 delivers benefits like improved substrate wetting, reduced surface tension and enhanced flow & leveling properties. These properties make BYK-023 suitable for applications that require a bubble-free appearance with uniform coverage. BYK-023 is recommended where excellent defoaming is required to maintain high quality finishes and minimize imperfections.
