BYKETOL WB is a silicone-free surface additive for aqueous coatings. BYKETOL WB prevents surface defects such as boiling marks, pinholes, bubbles, orange peel, and craters, and improves leveling in coatings. BYKETOL WB can be used in coatings where it provides benefits such as preventing the formation of bubbles and boiling marks. Surface defects like cratering and pinholes are avoided with BYKETOL WB usage. It works as a leveling additive with defoaming properties in coatings. The effectiveness is further improved when combined with polymeric defoamers. BYKETOL WB is recommended for use in aqueous coatings for applications where bubble and defect free surfaces are required.
