BYK-1711

BYK 1711 is a silicone- and mineral oil-free polymeric defoamer suitable for water-borne coatings. BYK 1711 is an effective defoaming additive that can be used at low dosages between 0.1-1% by weight in formulations. As a polymeric defoamer, BYK 1711 works by destroying foam through hydrophobic interactions on the foam cell surface. BYK 1711 provides benefits such as easy incorporation into coating systems, wide compatibility with various resin chemistries, and no seeding effects in clear coats. These properties make BYK 1711 well-suited for advanced material coating applications seeking a high-performance defoamer that maintains optical properties and application performance of coatings.
