BYK UV 3510 is a silicone-containing surface additive used for radiation-curable overprint varnishes. BYK UV 3510 improves leveling and substrate wetting at small dosages, which is beneficial for high-speed coating processes in advanced material manufacturing. As a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane, BYK UV 3510 accumulates on coating surfaces. It provides highly transparent coatings while enhancing properties like leveling and substrate wetting. BYK UV 3510 is particularly suitable where decreased foam stabilization is important. Its compatibility with standard binders allows for optimizing coating performance. BYK UV 3510 can be incorporated during any stage of production, including post-addition, making it a versatile additive for advanced material coatings.
