BYK-358 N

BYK 358 N is a polyacrylate-based surface additive that improves leveling for semi-polar to polar systems. It can be used as an anti-cratering and leveling additive in solvent-borne and ambient curing coating systems. BYK 358 N provides benefits in advanced material formulations by minimizing surface imperfections and increasing smoothness. It facilitates an even, uniform surface without defects. BYK 358 N only causes minor reduction in surface tension, maintaining excellent properties such as recoatability and interlayer adhesion important for advanced material multilayer structures. As a thermally stable additive, BYK 358 N withstands processing temperatures without degrading. Its low addition levels from 0.1-1% provide anti-cratering and leveling effects without negatively impacting optical properties that are critical for many advanced material applications.
