In industrial coating and surface treatment processes, surface defects such as orange peel, cratering and pinholes have long troubled manufacturers and applicators. These defects not only affect product appearance, but may also reduce the protective performance and service life of the coating. The market urgently needs an efficient and stable leveling additive that adapts to various resin systems while ensuring ease of use.
To address this pain point, Chemi Tech has launched a series of silicone leveling agent products. Their core component is modified polysiloxane, which significantly improves coating leveling and smoothness by reducing coating surface tension and promoting uniform spreading. The specific solution consists of four steps: first, select the appropriate leveling agent model according to the substrate and resin type; second, add and fully disperse it at a ratio of 0.1%-0.5% before coating production or application; then, confirm compatibility through a fineness of grind test; and finally, verify coating performance in actual application.
An auto parts manufacturer had long faced orange peel when spraying epoxy primer, resulting in persistently high secondary polishing and rework rates. After introducing Chemi Tech's silicone leveling agent at a dosage of 0.3%, the coating surface became smooth and defect-free, the rework rate dropped by more than 60%, and the scratch resistance of the coating was improved. The customer has purchased twelve consecutive batches.
We focus on product stability and technical service, offering sample testing and on-site guidance to ensure the leveling agent perfectly fits your system. Chemi Tech helps you achieve the goal of zero coating defects.
