Basic Information

• Brand and Model: BYK, BYK - SILCLEAN 3700
• Packaging Specification: 25 kg/blue iron drum
• Chemical Composition: Hydroxyl - functional silicone - modified polyacrylate

Product Characteristics

• Appearance and Physical Properties: Usually a light yellow to brown transparent liquid with a slight special odor. The density is approximately 0.95 - 1.05 g/cm³ (at 20℃), and it has a relatively high flash point, which enhances safety during storage and use. It is insoluble in water but has good solubility in common organic solvents. The kinematic viscosity is within a suitable range, facilitating uniform dispersion in coating systems.
• Core Functions
  • Enhanced Cleanability: Significantly improves the cleanability of solvent - based coatings. After the coating forms a film, the surface is less likely to be stained with dirt, dust, etc. This is because the hydroxyl functional groups form a special molecular structure after cross - linking, making it difficult for stains to adhere to the coating film surface, and even if stained, they are easier to clean off.
  • Improved Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Properties: In most coating systems, this leveling agent can effectively increase the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties of the coating. When the coating film comes into contact with water or oily substances, water droplets or oil droplets will roll off, reducing the infiltration and residue of liquids on the coating film surface, thereby protecting the coating film and prolonging its service life.
  • Reduced Dust Adhesion: Lowers the coating film's ability to adsorb dust, maintains the cleanliness of the coating film surface, and preserves the good appearance of the coating.

Application Fields

• Main Application Scenarios
  • Architectural Coatings: Used in exterior wall coatings, it can keep the exterior walls of buildings clean and tidy for a long time when exposed to the natural environment, reducing the cost and frequency of manual cleaning; used in interior wall coatings, it is convenient for daily cleaning and keeps the interior walls beautiful.
  • Industrial Coatings: Applied in fields such as automotive coatings and metal protective coatings, it can enhance the coating film's resistance to various stains and dust, maintaining the aesthetic appearance and performance stability of the product.
• Applicable Coating Systems: Suitable for various solvent - based coating systems, such as alkyd resin coatings, acrylic resin coatings, polyurethane coatings, etc.

Recommended Dosage and Usage Methods

• Recommended Dosage: 0.5% - 3% based on the total formula (calculated by the purchased form). The actual dosage needs to be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the coating system and the desired level of cleanability.
• Usage Methods: It can be added during the grinding stage, paint mixing stage, etc., in the coating production process. When adding, it is recommended to use the method of slow addition and sufficient stirring to ensure that the additive can be uniformly dispersed in the coating system to exert the best performance.

Storage and Transportation

• Storage Conditions: It is recommended to store at a temperature of 5 - 35℃. The storage environment should be dry and well - ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight and freezing. Keep away from fire sources and strong oxidants to prevent danger.
• Shelf Life: Under the condition of complying with storage conditions, the shelf life of the product is usually 60 months.
• Transportation Requirements: Transport as general chemicals. During transportation, prevent collision and inversion to avoid packaging damage leading to product leakage.

Competitive Advantages

• Unique Performance: Compared with ordinary leveling agents, BYK - SILCLEAN 3700 not only has leveling function but also performs excellently in terms of cleanability, hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, and dust adhesion resistance. It can endow coatings with more special functions and meet high - end application requirements.
• Wide Applicability: It has good compatibility with various solvent - based coating systems and can cover many application fields, providing effective solutions for customers in different industries.
• High Cost - Effectiveness: A proper amount of addition can significantly improve coating performance. Although the product itself has a certain cost, from the perspective of reducing cleaning and maintenance costs and prolonging the service life of the coating film, it can bring higher comprehensive benefits to customers.
• High - Quality Service: BYK provides professional technical support, including formula optimization suggestions, technical guidance during application, etc., as well as perfect after - sales service, which can promptly respond to and solve problems encountered by customers during use.
