A world without PFAS

BYK stops supplying PFAS-containing additives

by end of 2025!

› Even today, the percentage of PFAS-containing

additives in BYK's extensive product portfolio is
very small.

› As a leading innovator we are convinced that we

can help our customers phase out products
containing PFAS by offering our pioneering
alternatives at an early date and showing new
ways in the formulation of sustainable solutions.

Externally driven replacement of the BYK-052 N polymer defoamer family
Supply of previous raw materials of the BYK-052 N family is terminated

The BYK-052 N defoamer family:

BYK-051 N
Changes in the chemical industry are not necessarily
BYK-052 N Coatings and inks
predictable and have been driven in particular by
BYK-053 N stricter regulatory requirements in recent years.

Our well-established BYK-052 N family of silicone-free

defoamers is now affected by such a change.
BYK-1751 Coatings and inks,
aromatic-free products
BYK-1752 The supplier of an essential raw material for the
BYK-052 N defoamer family has announced to
discontinue production and shut down the
BYK-A 515 Thermoset applications production line.
