BYK Automotive Coatings
BYK Automotive Coatings is an additive category for automotive coating systems that require high surface quality, stable application performance, and consistent final appearance. BYK additives are used to support the performance of automotive OEM coatings, including cathodic electro deposition, primers, monolayer topcoats, basecoats, and clearcoat systems.
In automotive coatings applications, additives play an important role in optimizing gloss, leveling, brilliance, color intensity, and the orientation of effect pigments. With the right additive formulation, coating systems can achieve a more premium visual appearance, smoother surface quality, more stable color distribution, and optimized flop effect in metallic or effect pigment-based coatings.
BYK Automotive Coatings also support foam control and defect prevention during coating production and application. BYK additives can help address challenges such as poor leveling, pigment stabilization, anti-flooding, anti-floating, substrate wetting, anti-cratering, anti-settling, boiling marks, pinholes, and the need to increase surface energy in both aqueous and solvent-borne automotive coating systems.
