Plastics

BYK is a global leader in specialty additives for plastic applications, offering solutions for PVC plastisols, thermoplastic compounds, and thermosets. PT Jaya Warindo Abadi (JWA) is an authorized distributor of BYK's complete plastics additives portfolio across Indonesia, serving manufacturers in automotive, construction, electronics, packaging, and industrial applications.

BYK additives enhance processability, improve material properties, and ensure consistent quality across rigid and flexible plastic systems.

PVC Plastisols and Thermoplastic PVC
PVC plastisols are used in numerous applications including floorings, wall coverings, vinyl, printing inks, textile applications, dip coatings, tarps, and traffic cones. BYK additives support production processes and help optimize material properties. Applications include spread coating, slush molding, rotational molding, dip coating, screen printing, and spray coating. Additives address viscosity adjustment, air release, surface defect elimination, and wetting improvement.

Thermoplastics Compounders
Thermoplastic materials are in high demand across automotive, electrical and electronics, appliances, construction, film, and packaging industries. BYK offers performance solutions including: thermal stabilization, flame retardancy, processing aids, UV stabilization, nucleation, coupling agents for automotive applications, high-performance reinforcing materials, thermal stabilizers, and one-pack solutions. Applications include cables, food packaging, structural components, and transport industry components. BYK additives are available for polyolefins, engineering plastics, and high-performance polymers with food contact authorization options.

Thermosets (Polyester, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Acrylic Systems)
BYK additives for thermosets optimize processing and final properties of unsaturated polyester resins (UP), epoxy resins (EP), polyurethanes (PU), and acrylic systems. Applications include composites (SMC/BMC — sheet molding compound / bulk molding compound), gel coats, casting resins, adhesives, fiber-reinforced plastics, and construction materials. Additives address: wetting and dispersion of fillers and reinforcements (glass fibers, carbon fibers, mineral fillers), viscosity reduction and rheology control, air release and defoaming, substrate wetting and leveling, surface quality improvement, and compatibility between components.
