With its digital lab that is one of a kind worldwide, BYK is launching into a new era of applications technology and so is giving a whole new dimension to its range of tailor-made additive solutions for its customers. The fully automated high throughput screening (HTS) system at BYK performs series tests with impressive speed and efficiency. 220 samples can be produced and tested within 24 hours in high throughput. This is equivalent to up to 80,000 samples per year. A fully digitalized process enables the time required for series testing to be cut from the previous norm of some months to just a few days.

The award-winning Korean pianist Sukyeon Kim played on a grand piano during filming. Handcrafted with the maximum care, the unmistakable sound results from their precise and elaborate manufacture. A grand piano requires over 12,000 individual parts and a year to build. It is lacquered six times and finally ground and polished to a half-millimeter coating thickness until it reflects without distortion. BYK additives illustrates its defoamer expertise by reference to this classic.
The Infinity Bridge derived its name from the image of the infinity symbol its shape creates when reflected in the waters of the river Tees, which it crosses downriver from the town of Stockton-on-Tees in the north-east of England. The bridge’s iconic design, comprising two arches which seem to hang over the water, was developed as part of an architectural design competition. The steel construction is 272 meters long. BYK illustrates the expertise behind its rheology additives by reference to the bridge, which links a more recent part of Stockton and the University of Durham’s Queen Campus.
BYK used a Frauscher boat for a shoot on Lake Garda in Italy. Working with drones and a second powerful boat at speeds of up to 85 km/h, the film crew captured the elegance and emotion of this extraordinary motor yacht and its superb surfaces.
