In waterborne coating production and application across Guangdong, surface leveling has long troubled many companies. Orange peel, craters or brush marks after drying not only harm appearance but also weaken the film's protective performance. Conventional leveling agents show poor compatibility or increase foam, complicating process control.
Targeting these pain points, Chemi Tech has developed a leveling agent series dedicated to waterborne systems. Its molecular structure is specially designed to lower coating surface tension quickly and promote uniform film spread, while avoiding conflicts with defoamers, thickeners and other components. In operation, simply add 0.1%–0.5% of the leveling agent slowly during production and stir at low speed for 5 minutes to disperse it fully. No adjustment to the existing process is needed — coating performance improves immediately.
In practice, a furniture coatings plant in Dongguan constantly faced surface waviness when spraying waterborne varnish. With the addition of Chemi Tech leveling agent KMP-212 at 0.3%, the film achieved a mirror finish without extended drying time, and the customer reported a significantly higher yield. In another case, an industrial equipment coatings company in Foshan had slight cratering; after switching the grade to KMP-219, batch stability was secured and the application window widened.
We provide free samples and technical support, helping customers verify results step by step from small-scale tests through pilot trials to mass production. Choosing Chemi Tech means precise, reliable leveling solutions for waterborne coatings.
