to environmental and human health protection. In most cases, they achieve the same performance as solvent-borne systems, are just as easy to process, and are particularly economical. Up until now, more than 40% of the additives of BYK Additives & Instruments have already been developed for aqueous liquid coatings and printing inks.

Bühler Nanotechnology presents Oxylink – the additive for better waterborne coatings. Oxylink increases and accelerates cross linking of 1-component waterborne resin formulations. Depending on the application it provides better blocking resistance, improved solvent and humidity resistance, better dirt pick up and efflorescence resistance. By shortening drying time and improving early resistance properties, Oxylink enables faster finishing and increased productivity. The effect of Oxylink on elastomeric waterborne acrylic formulas is presented in a paper at the co-located European Coatings Conference.
