Leveling Challenges in Waterborne Polyurethane? Chemi Tech's Professional Solutions

In the application of waterborne polyurethane, poor surface leveling is a common challenge faced by many engineers. Defects such as orange peel, craters, and brush marks not only affect the coating's appearance but may also reduce its protective properties and service life. The market urgently needs efficient and stable solutions, and selecting the right leveling agent is particularly critical.

Addressing this pain point, Chemi Tech has developed leveling agents specifically for waterborne polyurethane systems based on years of technical expertise. These leveling agents significantly improve film formation quality by reducing surface tension and promoting even coating spread. The specific solution involves three steps: First, analyze system compatibility through sample testing; second, recommend appropriate dosage based on the application method (spraying, rolling, etc.); finally, optimize the formulation according to the actual production environment to ensure lasting and stable leveling effects.

In one case, a coating manufacturer encountered noticeable orange peel in a waterborne polyurethane clear coat. By adopting Chemi Tech's leveling agent solution at a dosage of 0.3%-0.8% and process adjustments, the film smoothness was greatly enhanced, achieving customer approval for appearance while also improving production efficiency. This practice demonstrates the critical role of leveling agents in actual production.

Chemi Tech's leveling agents not only address surface defects but also balance environmental friendliness and ease of operation, making them suitable for various waterborne polyurethane scenarios. If you are facing leveling challenges, contact our technical team for customized support.
