Industrial Applications

BYK is a global leader in specialty additives for a wide range of industrial applications. PT Jaya Warindo Abadi (JWA) is an authorized distributor of BYK's complete industrial additives portfolio across Indonesia, serving manufacturers in adhesives, energy storage, printing inks, home care, paper coatings, and lubricant industries.

BYK additives enhance production efficiency, improve product quality, and deliver consistent performance across aqueous, solvent-borne, solvent-free, and radiation-curing systems.

Adhesives and Sealants
BYK offers additives for all types of adhesive systems: aqueous dispersion adhesives, solvent-borne systems, solvent-free reactive systems (polyurethanes, epoxides, acrylates, silane-terminated polymers), and hot-melt adhesives. Product range includes defoamers, wetting and dispersing additives, surface additives, and rheology modifiers to optimize adhesion strength, substrate wetting, leveling, and foam control.

Electrical Energy Storage and Conversion (Li-ion Batteries)
BYK additives play a crucial role in Li-ion battery manufacturing. Applications include electrode production and ceramic-coated separators. Wetting and dispersing additives improve dispersion of conductive carbons (carbon black, carbon nanotubes/CNTs) for homogeneous electrode slurries — enabling better anode and cathode manufacture. Viscosity reduction for LFP, NCM, NCA, and other active materials. Surface additives optimize substrate wetting and leveling for defect-free separator coatings. Portfolio includes defoamers, rheology additives, and binders for enhanced adhesion, mechanical resistance, and heat resistance.

Printing Inks and Inkjet Inks
BYK additives support aqueous, radiation-curing, solvent-borne, and ceramic inkjet inks — including formulations requiring indirect food contact authorization. Additives ensure low-viscosity, long-term stable inkjet inks with optimum color strength, improved jetting properties, and enhanced abrasion resistance. Applications include packaging printing (paper, cardboard, foil), ceramic substrate printing, and textile printing.

Cleaning, Surface and Fabric Care (Home Care and I&I)
BYK additives optimize rheology adjustment of cleaners, detergents, and fabric softeners — plus surface properties, substrate wetting, and foam prevention. Solutions for household, industrial, and institutional cleaners, polishes (floor, furniture, car care), laundry detergents, surface disinfectants, and fabric care products. Available for aqueous and solvent-borne cleaners and care products.

Paper Coatings
BYK additives assist in coating color preparation, improve the coating process, and enhance paper surface quality. Products consider specific requirements such as food contact authorization. Applications include paper coating and converting to deliver optimized paper surface and required performance characteristics.

Thickeners for Lubricating Greases and Mold Release Agents
BYK offers additives for aqueous and oil-based lubricants: defoamers, substrate wetting agents, wetting and dispersing additives, and rheology additives. For mold release agents, BYK provides primary and secondary wax emulsions for high-pressure die casting, wood materials (MDF board), and plastics.
