Surface finishing agent
Surface finishing agent
During the process of applying or coating onto the substrate, various surface defects can occur. One cause is a significant difference in surface tension. For example, if the surface tension of the coating is higher than that of the substrate, issues such as poor wettability (high contact angle), poor adhesion, and beading can arise. Even after application or during drying, this difference in surface tension can lead to undesirable leveling and color bleeding. BYK additives can improve or prevent these surface defects.
