RHEOBYK (BYK Rheology Additives)

By using rheology additives, the application properties of the most varied of systems can be significantly improved.

However, depending on the desired improvement, tailor-made solutions and a precise adaptation of the rheological profile are required. For example, the increase in storage stability requires a different viscosity profile than an increase in layer thicknesses; while, for an increase in viscosity in low shear ranges, a different approach is required than that for an increase in the brushing resistance.

Description

By using rheology additives, the application properties of the most varied of systems can be significantly improved.

However, depending on the desired improvement, tailor-made solutions and a precise adaptation of the rheological profile are required. For example, the increase in storage stability requires a different viscosity profile than an increase in layer thicknesses; while, for an increase in viscosity in low shear ranges, a different approach is required than that for an increase in the brushing resistance.

Moreover, the additive must be precisely adapted to the polarity of the system, depending on whether the system in question is solvent-borne, solvent-free or aqueous.

BYK offers a multitude of the most diverse of additives for systems with a variety of polarities. Alongside additive classes such as phyllosilicates or associate thickeners, special high-performance additives such as synthetic phyllosilicates are also available. These are characterized by their high uniformity and transparency. Liquid rheology additives that can be very easily incorporated as well as enhancers for fumed silica round off the scope of products available.

Main application areas
RHEOBYK- 410 Liquid rheology additive The additive creates highly thixotropic flow behavior and consequently improves the anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.
RHEOBYK- 411 Liquid rheology additive For low-polarity solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. The additive causes highly thixotropic flow behavior
RHEOBYK- 420 Liquid rheology additive For aqueous and water-reducible coating systems for improving antisagging and anti-settling properties. The additive is also especially suited for manufacturing aqueous pigment concentrates.
RHEOBYK- 430 Liquid rheology additive For solvent-borne coatings, adhesives, and sealants to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.
RHEOBYK- 431 Liquid rheology additive For solvent-borne coatings, adhesives, and sealants to improve anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.
RHEOBYK- 440 Liquid rheology additive based on a polyamide To improve the anti-sagging and anti-settling properties as well as the effect pigment orientation in aqueous coating systems. Extremely shear-thinning.
RHEOBYK- D410 Liquid rheology additive For medium-polarity solvent-borne and solvent-free systems to generate highly thixotropic flow behavior
RHEOBYK- 7410 ET Liquid rheology additive To generate highly thixotropic flow behavior for medium-polarity solvent-borne and solvent-free systems.
RHEOBYK- 7411 ES Liquid rheology additive For low-polarity solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems and cleaning products to generate highly thixotropic flow behavior and to improve the anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.
RHEOBYK-R 605 Liquid rheology additive For plastic applications such as vinyl ester and epoxy resins, unsaturated polyester resins, and gel coats to reinforce the rheological effectiveness of pyrogenic silica.
RHEOBYK-R 606 Liquid rheology additive For solvent-borne and solvent-free adhesives and sealants based on polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylate resins that contain pyrogenic silica or organophilic phyllosilicates.
RHEOBYK-R 607 Liquid rheology additive For solvent-free and solvent-borne systems to enhance the rheological properties in conjunction with hydrophilic fumed silica and clay additives.
