Oil-Based Leveling Agent Solutions - Chemi Tech Enhances Coating Smoothness

In industrial coating applications, surface defects such as orange peel, cratering, or pinholes are common challenges that compromise appearance and protective performance. Traditional leveling agents often fail to balance compatibility and stability, leading to transient effects or new issues.  

Chemi Tech specializes in developing innovative oil-based leveling agents through molecular optimization and precise formulation design. Our structured approach includes:  

1. Problem Diagnosis: Identify root causes like solvent evaporation imbalance or poor compatibility;  

2. Customized Formulation: Match agent types to resin systems and process conditions;  

3. Process Optimization: Guide dosage, mixing methods, and curing parameters;  

4. Validation & Iteration: Verify results from lab to production batches.  

Case Example: An auto parts manufacturer faced 15% rework due to orange peel on covers. After applying Chemi Tech’s CT-208 agent at 0.5% dosage and adjusting drying temperature, surface smoothness improved by 90%, reducing rework to below 2% with significant annual cost savings.  

Chemi Tech combines expertise and practical experience to help achieve defect-free coatings.
