Silicone Leveling Agent Solution - Chemi Tech Addresses Coating Surface Imperfections

In industrial coating applications, surface imperfections such as orange peel, cratering, and uneven leveling have long plagued manufacturers and applicators. These issues not only compromise product appearance but may also reduce protective performance, leading to high rework rates and increased costs. The market demands an efficient and stable leveling additive that adapts to diverse substrates and process conditions while balancing ease of use and economy.

Addressing these challenges, Chemi Tech introduces a professional series of silicone leveling agents. This solution optimizes coating surfaces through the following steps: First, adding a small amount of the leveling agent to the formulation significantly reduces surface tension, promoting even spreading. Second, the leveling agent molecules migrate to the coating surface, forming a monomolecular layer that effectively suppresses vortices and local irregularities. Finally, stability is maintained during curing to prevent defects.

In a practical case, an automotive parts manufacturer encountered orange peel issues during spraying, resulting in non-compliant product appearance. By using Chemi Tech's silicone leveling agent at 0.3% of the total formulation, coating smoothness improved markedly, eliminating orange peel completely without affecting intercoat adhesion. This solution helped the client achieve a first-pass yield of over 98%, while reducing grinding and rework time.

Chemi Tech leveling agents are suitable for various solvent-based and solvent-free systems, offering broad compatibility and easy operation. Enterprises can determine the optimal dosage through small-scale trials and quickly integrate it into existing production processes. Choosing Chemi Tech means opting for more reliable surface quality and efficient production workflows.
