BYK Additives & Instruments is one of the world's leading suppliers in the additives and instruments sector.
Additives are chemical substances that are used in small quantities to improve product properties such as scratch resistance or surface gloss. Manufacturing processes are also optimized through the use of additives.
The plastics and coatings industries are some of the main areas of application of BYK additives. Yet in paper surface finishing, or the production of adhesives and sealants as well as construction chemistry, BYK additives are also improving the product properties and production processes. In 2009 BYK extended its portfolio with raw materials for the production of mold release agents for aluminum die casting.
BYK Instruments can quantify the quality of color and gloss and the physical properties of paint, plastic and paper products. Instruments from BYK are predominantly used for quality control.
Every year, BYK invests approx. 8% of its sales in research and development - a figure that is three times higher than the industry standard. For BYK, innovative developments are closely oriented towards present and future customer demands.
One in five BYK staff works in interdisciplinary teams dedicated to furthering new developments and leveraging staff competence from the various specialty fields.
BYK Additives & Instruments employs around 1200 staff worldwide, more than 600 of them in Wesel. In 2009, company turnover amounted to EUR 420 million. Some 87% of that turnover was earned abroad, especially in neighboring European countries, the USA and the Asian market.
