Additives for refinish systems — fillers, basecoats and clearcoats that have to perform under body-shop conditions.
Refinish coatings cure at room temperature or mild object temperatures — without the stoving ovens of OEM lines. The painter still expects OEM looks: clean flow without mottling, fast dust-dry times, polishable clearcoats without craters. Effect basecoats additionally demand precise orientation of aluminium and pearlescent pigments.
From BYK we carry the matching wetting and dispersing agents, defoamers, levelling and rheology additives for solvent-borne and waterborne refinish systems; acrylic and polyester resins from Synres complete the binder side.
Adjust levelling and substrate wetting — decisive when applying without a stoving oven. — Surface additives →
The orientation of aluminium and pearlescent pigments is controlled by the basecoat rheology. — Rheology additives →
Air-release additives help air out of the film before the surface closes. — Defoamers →
Choose acrylic and polyester resins to match curing and required polishability. — Alkyd, polyester & acrylic resins →
