Increase surface energy of cured coatings

13 June 2014

Until now it has only been possible to either reduce the surface energy of cured coatings by adding silicone additives or to maintain its original level by adding acrylate levelling additives. Using BYK-3560 the surface energy of cured coatings can now be increased.
Based on macromer technology, which, as a result of the combination of product properties, opens up new avenues in terms of surface modification, BYK-3560 increases the surface energy of cured coatings overall, especially the polarity resulting in an improvement in the adhesion of subsequent layers such as paints, lamination foils, adhesives, printing inks etc.
Silicone- and fluorine-free, it has 100% active substance. www.byk.com
