Coating

BYK is a global leader in coating additives, offering solutions for virtually every coating application — from architectural paints to high-performance industrial coatings. PT Jaya Warindo Abadi (JWA) is an authorized distributor of BYK's complete coating additives portfolio across Indonesia, serving manufacturers in architectural, automotive, industrial, marine, powder, wood, can, coil, and floor coating industries.

BYK additives enhance pigment wetting and dispersion, improve surface properties (gloss, leveling, scratch resistance), control rheology and defoaming, optimize substrate wetting, and increase durability and weather resistance across aqueous, solvent-borne, solvent-free, and radiation-curing systems.

Architectural Coatings
BYK additives for architectural paints (interior and exterior) improve pigment dispersion, prevent foam and cratering, optimize rheology for brush/roller application, enhance substrate wetting, and increase scrub resistance, block resistance, and weather stability. Suitable for water-based and solvent-borne formulations.

Automotive OEM Coatings
BYK offers additive solutions for aqueous and solvent-borne automotive OEM coatings: cathodic electro deposition (CED), primers, monolayer topcoats, basecoats, and clearcoat systems. Additives improve surface properties (gloss and leveling), support brilliance and color intensity, optimize effect pigment orientation for flop effect, and prevent foam and defects. For automotive refinish coatings (aftermarket repair).

Can Coatings (Food & Beverage Cans, Aerosols, Tubes)
BYK additives for can coatings ensure compliance with food contact regulations. Applications include interior and exterior coatings for food and beverage cans, aerosol cans, tubes, and closures. Additives address pigment dispersion, defoaming, substrate wetting, leveling, and rheology control for high-speed application processes (roller coating, spray coating).

Coil Coatings (Pre-painted Metal for Construction, Appliances, Automotive)
BYK additives for coil coatings (primers, backers, topcoats) improve pigment dispersion, prevent foam and cratering, optimize substrate wetting for high-speed coil coating lines, enhance leveling and surface quality, and increase flexibility, adhesion, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance. Suitable for polyesters, polyurethanes, PVDF, and plastisols.

Floor Coatings (Commercial, Industrial, Parking Structures, Warehouses)
BYK additives for floor coatings simplify system handling and enable more reproducible results. Applications include epoxy, polyurethane, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), and cement-based floor coatings. Additives address pigment dispersion, defoaming, substrate wetting, leveling, rheology control, and air release. Available for solvent-borne, water-based, and solvent-free (100% solid) systems. Starting point formulations available for pigment concentrates.

Industrial Coatings (General Industrial, Metal, Plastic, Wood Substrates)
BYK additives for industrial coatings provide solutions for pigment stabilization, defoaming, improved surface properties, and rheology control. Applications include coatings for metal (machinery, equipment, furniture), plastic (electronics, automotive interior, consumer goods), and general industrial substrates. Suitable for aqueous, solvent-borne, and solvent-free formulations. Starting point formulations available for pigment concentrates.

Marine and Protective Coatings (Ships, Offshore, Infrastructure)
BYK offers special rheology additives for marine, protective, and intumescent coatings. Focus on providing extraordinary film thicknesses against aggressive environments, avoiding negative effects on long-term performance, and improving fire resistance. Applications include primers, intermediates, topcoats for ships (hull, deck, tanks), offshore platforms, bridges, pipelines, and industrial structures. Additives control sag resistance, anti-settling, leveling, and defoaming.

Powder Coatings
Powder coatings are one of the most environmentally friendly coating systems — 100% solid with no harmful VOCs. BYK additives for powder coatings improve leveling, prevent craters (pinholes), enhance degassing during curing, improve pigment wetting, and improve processing conditions. Special additives provide structured or textured surfaces. Solutions available for clear powder coatings and UV-curing powder coatings. Benefits include improved scratch resistance and optimized surface quality.

Wood and Furniture Coatings
BYK formulates premium additives distinctively for wood coating systems: easy-to-clean properties, scratch resistance, UV resistance, excellent surface leveling, and exceptional pigment stabilization in pigmented systems. Applications include furniture, flooring, joinery, kitchen cabinets, and architectural woodwork. Suitable for solvent-borne, water-based, UV-curing, and 100% UV systems. Starting point formulations available for pigment concentrates and matting agent pastes.

Additives for Construction Industry
BYK additives for construction applications include concrete admixtures, mortar additives, gypsum and plaster additives, cementitious systems, tile adhesives, grouts, and sealants. Additives improve workability, water retention, substrate wetting, defoaming, and rheology control for construction chemicals.
