Company description:
BYK stands for the globally successful Additives & Instruments division of the ALTANA Group. This includes the additives business of BYK-Chemie GmbH on the one hand and the instrument business of BYK-Gardner GmbH on the other. Both sub-divisions occupy leading positions in their markets.
Additives are chemical additives that – even in small quantities – improve product properties such as scratch resistance or the shine of surfaces. In addition, entire manufacturing processes can also be optimized by adding additives.
The coatings, printing inks and plastics industries are among the main areas of application for BYK additives. However, the demand for BYK additives is also growing rapidly in paper surface finishing or the production of adhesives and sealants, as well as in construction chemicals, because their use in these sectors is increasingly perfecting product properties and manufacturing processes. In 2009, BYK also expanded its portfolio to include raw materials for the production of release agents for aluminum die casting.
BYK offers complete and unique system solutions for the coatings and plastics markets: Additives to improve the properties of coatings and plastics
and instruments for the objective assessment of color, appearance and physical properties of coatings and plastics.
