BYK 1790 is a silicone-free, polymer-based defoamer suitable for solvent-free, radiation-curing coatings and adhesives used in industrial applications. BYK 1790 prevents foaming in the manufacture of these industrial coatings and adhesives even at high viscosity. It has no negative effect on the properties of the coatings and adhesives. BYK 1790 significantly reduces evacuation times leading to an increase in production efficiency for industrial coating and adhesive manufacturers. BYK 1790 is recommended for solvent-free, radiation-curing coating systems and adhesives used in industrial manufacturing due to its high efficiency and ability to prevent foaming without impacting other properties of the coatings and adhesives.
