BYK offers additive solutions for aqueous and solvent-borne automotive refinish coatings, such as putty primers, monolayer topcoats, basecoats and clearcoat systems. Our various additive families offer solutions for improving surface properties such as gloss and leveling, support brilliance and color intensity, and help to orientate of effect pigments to optimize the flop effect. BYK also offers suitable solutions to prevent foam and the associated defects. Sandability and polishability are also challenges which can be positively influenced by our additives.
