BYK®-323 is an aralkyl modified polymethylalkylsiloxane. This product acts in a defoaming fashion (i.e., no or only slight foam stabilization), depending on the polarity of the paint system. It is heat resistant up to 250°C and does not decrease intercoat adhesion when overcoated. In wood and furniture coatings, BYK-323 is used to orient the flatting agent in flat topcoats and in multi-coat systems. Even in difficult to flat high-solids polyurethane, acid curing and unsaturated polyester coatings, the use of BYK-323 does not lead to shining up. In addition, optimal orientation of the flatting agent is achieved. In flow coat systems, BYK-323 provides a stable curtain. In industrial coatings, BYK-323 supports the orientation of flatting agents and aluminium flakes in metallics.
