In coating applications, poor substrate leveling often leads to defects such as orange peel, cratering, and pinholes, compromising product appearance and performance, while increasing rework and costs. The market demands efficient and reliable leveling agent solutions.
Chemi Tech substrate leveling agent features a unique formulation that reduces surface tension, promotes even coating spread, and eliminates leveling issues caused by substrate irregularities or application conditions. It is compatible with various resin systems, including solvent-based, water-based, and UV coatings.
Solution Steps:
1. Problem Analysis: Evaluate substrate type, coating formula, and application conditions to identify the root cause of leveling defects.
2. Product Selection: Choose the appropriate Chemi Tech leveling agent based on system compatibility, with recommended dosage of 0.1%-0.5%.
3. Addition and Mixing: Incorporate the leveling agent during paint mixing with low-speed stirring for uniform dispersion.
4. Application Testing: Verify leveling效果 through draw-down or spray tests, adjusting parameters like viscosity or drying time.
5. Batch Application: Monitor coating performance in mass production to ensure consistency.
Case Study: A furniture manufacturer using solvent-based coatings experienced frequent cratering and orange peel, affecting aesthetic quality. After adding Chemi Tech leveling agent KMP-812 at 0.3% dosage, the coating surface became smooth and defect-free, with improved adhesion and reduced rework rates, leading to higher customer satisfaction.
