Chemi Tech Leveling Agent Solution: Addressing Coating Surface Irregularities

In industrial coating applications, surface defects such as orange peel, cratering and pinholes have long plagued manufacturing enterprises. These surface irregularities not only compromise product appearance but may also reduce protective performance, leading to increased customer complaints. Traditional approaches often involve adjusting spraying parameters or increasing coating thickness, with limited effectiveness and higher costs.

Chemi Tech leveling agents are developed to address these challenges through unique polymer structure design that effectively reduces coating surface tension and promotes uniform flow during curing. The solution involves four critical steps: First, conducting formulation compatibility tests to ensure perfect integration; Second, optimizing leveling efficiency through viscosity control; Third, eliminating surface tension differentials via migration mechanisms; Finally, forming a stable surface protection layer.

An automotive parts manufacturer consistently faced orange peel issues when coating metal components, with product yield rates stagnating at 85%. After adopting Chemi Tech KMP-201 leveling agent, they implemented a three-phase validation process: laboratory sample testing, production line pilot testing, and full-scale implementation. Within four weeks, surface smoothness improved by 62%, defect rates dropped below 3%.

Our leveling agents are compatible with various systems including epoxy and polyurethane, performing stably under both room temperature and high-temperature curing conditions. Technicians can adjust dosage rates (typically 0.2%-1.5% of total formulation) without modifying existing production processes. Chemi Tech also provides on-site technical support to assist customers with sample testing and process optimization, ensuring effective solution implementation.
