BYK Additives Honored With Ringier Technology Innovation Award
WESEL, Germany/SHANGHAI — Two new BYK additives, which have been developed primarily for the printing inks and inkjet inks segment, have won a Ringier Technology Innovation Award. At an award ceremony in Shanghai, special attention was drawn to their groundbreaking wetting properties and broad compatibility in aqueous systems for the graphics and coating industries.
Both additives are silicone surfactants for aqueous systems and bring about not only a significant reduction in surface tension but also improved wetting on highly non-polar substrates without increasing surface slip.
