BYK-081 is a highly effective and spontaneous defoamer additive. It can be used in amine-neutralized, water reducible systems and in solvent-borne systems. BYK-081 shows good compatibility with clear systems. It is particularly suitable for high solid alkyd systems in certain industries. BYK-081 helps provide a smooth and even finish without bubbles or foam. The additive displays good stability and prevents defects caused by air entrapment. As a non-aqueous emulsion, BYK-081 supports homogeneous dispersion and prevents issues during the curing and drying process. Its fluorine-free composition meets current regulations. BYK-081 is recommended for certain finishing formulations where a bubble-free result is required for maximum durability and aesthetics.
