The range of decorative coatings covers interior wall paints, decorative wood and metal coatings as well as external coatings for facades and road marking paints.
In addition, pigment concentrates for tinting systems (both point-of-sales and in-plant tinting) are an essential part of the range of applications and related binder systems.
From clear coats to highly filled paints, BYK offers special additives that comply with legal requirements for both aqueous and solvent-borne systems. There is an extensive additive portfolio for decorative and architectural coatings.
Wetting and dispersing agents are just as important as defoamers, rheological and surface additives.
BYK Architectural Coatings
BYK Architectural Coatings include a range of additive solutions for decorative paint and architectural coating formulations, including interior wall paints, exterior facade coatings, decorative wood and metal coatings, road marking paints, and pigment concentrates for tinting systems. BYK additives help improve formulation quality through better pigment wetting and dispersion, defoaming, air release, rheology control, surface slip, leveling, and application stability in both aqueous and solvent-borne systems.
Architectural Coatings from BYK are used to support coating formulations that require consistent appearance, easier application, and more stable technical performance. This portfolio includes various additive types such as wetting and dispersing agents, defoamers, rheological additives, wax additives, and surface additives that help address common paint formulation challenges, including foam, poor pigment dispersion, sagging, settling, surface defects, and suboptimal flow behavior.
In industrial applications, BYK Architectural Coatings are suitable for decorative paints, interior wall paints, exterior coatings, plasters, wood coatings, metal coatings, pigment concentrates, and tinting systems. With a broad additive selection, formulations can be optimized for water resistance, scratch resistance, scuff resistance, substrate wetting, anti-sagging, anti-settling, color stability, and final surface quality.
