requirements for usage in printing applications with food contact: BYK®-016.
It is free of mineral oil and silicones and conforms not only with FDA §175.300

excellent defoaming properties in aqueous printing inks and overprint varnishes,
along with easy incorporation and high storage stability. Furthermore, BYK®-016
is suitable for all aqueous coating systems. About BYK-Chemie BYK-Chemie
