BYK Thermosets
BYK Thermosets is an additive category for thermoset resin systems that require process stability, good surface quality, optimized filler and pigment dispersion, and consistent mechanical performance. BYK additives support various thermoset applications such as advanced composites, fiber-reinforced composites, gel coats, casting compounds, electrical insulation, polymer concrete, engineered stone, and artificial stone.
In thermoset applications, additives play an important role in controlling defoaming, air release, wetting and dispersing, rheology, leveling, substrate wetting, pigment stabilization, filler dispersion, and processing performance. With the right additive selection, resin systems can be easier to process, deliver a more stable final surface, and produce composite or molded products with more consistent quality.
BYK Thermosets can be used in various resin systems such as unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylates. This category is relevant for sheet molding compounds, bulk molding compounds, pultrusion, infusion, hand lay-up, spray-up, and casting processes. BYK additives help improve flow behavior, air release, surface quality, mechanical performance, pigment and filler stabilization, and thermoset production efficiency.
