Chemi Tech Anti-Acid-Alkali Leveling Agent: Infusing Lasting Stability into Industrial Coating

In an electroplating workshop in an industrial city in southern China, the coating on equipment constantly exposed to acidic solutions had become patchy and peeling. Engineers tried various coating additives but struggled to prevent rapid coating failure in chemical media—until they discovered Chemi Tech's anti-acid-alkali leveling agent.

After thorough onsite analysis, Chemi Tech's team found that conventional leveling agents often suffered molecular chain breakdown under alternating strong acid and alkali conditions, leading to defects such as cratering and orange peel. In response, Chemi Tech developed a novel leveling agent using specially modified organosilicon compounds that withstand pH levels from 1 to 14. This product forms a three-dimensional network during coating curing, providing continuous leveling while building a barrier against chemical attack.

In one practical application, an electronic component manufacturer incorporated the agent into an epoxy resin system. The coating maintained a smooth, intact surface after 240 hours of salt spray testing at 85% humidity. Another notable case involved a chemical plant's reaction vessel: a polyurethane coating enhanced with Chemi Tech's leveling agent showed only slight discoloration after 90 days of continuous exposure to 20% sulfuric acid solution, whereas untreated samples blistered and peeled much earlier.

The uniqueness of Chemi Tech's leveling agent lies in its adaptive properties: it strengthens intermolecular crosslinking density in acidic settings and activates surface-active groups in alkaline conditions, consistently achieving a high spreading coefficient of 0.85–0.92. This intelligent response mechanism eliminates brush marks and roller streaks during application and forms a dense protective layer after curing, boosting the coating's chemical resistance by more than three times.

Today, this anti-acid-alkali leveling agent is a standard choice in numerous industrial coating projects—from corrosion-resistant flooring in semiconductor facilities to structural protection on marine platforms. Through continuous innovation, Chemi Tech has transformed leveling agents from mere appearance enhancers into critical defenders of industrial equipment reliability.
