In coatings and ink production, surface leveling issues remain common industry challenges. Defects such as orange peel, cratering, and pinholes not only affect aesthetics but also compromise protective properties and market competitiveness. Traditional leveling agents often face limitations in compatibility, stability, or efficiency, especially in complex formulations or demanding processes.
Addressing these challenges, Chemi Tech introduces a series of fluoromodified leveling agents, featuring innovative molecular design for superior substrate wetting and surface tension control. The mechanism involves rapid migration to the coating interface, uniform spreading, and formation of a stable surface layer, effectively eliminating defects and delivering smooth, fine appearance.
The solution involves four steps: First, analyze system compatibility and requirements to select the appropriate fluoromodified leveling agent model. Second, add 0.1%-0.5% during the paint mixing stage with low-speed dispersion. Third, test leveling效果 using grind gauges and lab film application. Finally, adjust process parameters based on practical application.
An industrial coatings manufacturer faced noticeable orange peel in metal protective paint, affecting customer acceptance. By adopting Chemi Tech's fluoromodified leveling agent KMT-12 at 0.3% addition, coating leveling improved significantly, achieving smooth, defect-free appearance while enhancing scratch resistance. The product passed quality inspection and entered batch production.
Chemi Tech focuses on functional additive R&D, offering technical support and customized services to help customers improve product quality and production efficiency.
