During coating application, surface defects such as orange peel, craters, and brush marks often appear, affecting appearance and protective performance. Traditional leveling agents are difficult to control in dosage and have poor compatibility, leading to unstable results or side effects. To address these pain points, Chemi Tech has launched a high-performance leveling agent series through molecular structure design and application technology optimization.
The solution involves three steps: first, precisely diagnose the type of coating problem and match the corresponding leveling agent model; second, determine the addition ratio through laboratory trials (usually 0.1% to 0.5%); and finally, adjust spraying parameters according to the application process. Our leveling agent quickly reduces coating surface tension, promotes uniform liquid film spreading, and eliminates surface defects.
Case study: A metal coating plant experienced continuous orange peel during primer spraying, leading to a rising rework rate. After using Chemi Tech leveling agent KMP-208 at an addition level of 0.2%, the coating achieved a mirror finish, curing time was shortened by 8%, and the customer reduced costs while increasing output.
Chemi Tech leveling agents are suitable for solvent-based, water-based and other systems, and provide technical follow-up and customization services to help customers upgrade coating quality.
