Chemi Tech Aqueous Wetting and Leveling Agent: Solve Coating Defects and Enhance Quality

In industrial coating and ink applications, surface defects such as cratering, fisheyes, and orange peel often occur due to poor substrate wetting, inconsistent surface tension, or compatibility issues. These problems compromise both appearance and performance. To address these challenges, Chemi Tech has developed a range of aqueous wetting and leveling agents that reduce surface tension and enhance film formation, resulting in superior coating quality.

Our solution involves three key steps:

First, by incorporating Chemi Tech WB-320 wetting and leveling agent, dynamic surface tension is effectively reduced, improving wetting on hard-to-adhere substrates like plastics and metals, thereby preventing cratering and fisheyes.

Second, the product offers excellent compatibility and foam stability, maintaining performance across a wide pH range without causing surface defects.

Finally, it promotes leveling, minimizing brush marks or spray unevenness to achieve a smooth, uniform finish.

A industrial coating manufacturer faced persistent fisheyes and edge cratering in water-based wood coatings. After adding 1.5% Chemi Tech WB-320, the coating spread evenly on oak substrates, completely eliminating fisheyes. The customer reported a pass rate increase to over 98%, reducing rework costs significantly.

Chemi Tech is committed to providing precise and efficient coating additive solutions to enhance product competitiveness for our clients.
